Cloudflare claims that R2 have free egress/bandwidth

You could try that instead of the "CDN" service

--

Alternatively, try the "cheap" CDN services like Bunny or Beluga, which have packages for high volume like 0.005c/gb

Cloudflare is not really selling a CDN, but all the "smart" services on top of it.

That's why you don't have as much control (like blocking IP/Geos without Enterprise), or run into issues for breaking their ToS.

You're off by a factor of 100.

$5000/PB = $5/TB = 500c/TB = 0.5c/GB

doesn't seem clear cut as they bundle it in a subscription packages, but at this volume you'd surely need their enterprise package (10Tb+), which you'd expect to get 0.01 or less

That is several thousand $ a year.

You wrote 0.005c not $0.005
