That was a bug in monitoring, afair, and no way to set the hard ceiling for the usage, no warning.

Not a FX exchange level of traffic. There was no traffic.

Thanks for clarifying. Not sending a warning for a $34K bill is pretty terrible. My company runs a service that allows larger customers to run overages and all of our bad customer experiences have stemmed from surprise overages that we failed to warn them about. Over the years, we have learned to be less stupid about that!

It appears that even very large companies like Cloudflare may need to brush up on customer experience from time to time.
