Workers Paid, you mean? Workers Paid has no hard limits, but you can setup alerts under Notifications -> Billing for Usage based Alerts.
Even then, you're not charged for bandwidth, just requests/cpu time/duration depending on your usage model.
and even then, Workers are just super cheap
At 104k USD for example, if we were looking at Standard Requests alone, that would buy you 346 billlion requests
I cam on the same basis. I'd like to express interested in the billing cap too @Chaika
Furthermore, notifications do not include
Standard requests
That's coming :soontm: ^tm/known issue

imo unlikely though but who knows
wow, this is suprisingly under voted
I'm paying for workers because I love the product but in this age it's just too risky
There might be one with more upvotes but I couldn't find it, just searched for ones including Workers
Workers are just super cheap as well
Just like credit cards have limits, so should services like this
I agree that they're cheap but still, it's rather difficult to comprehend all the moving parts and pieces that add up
Yea I think most companies/Clouds don't just because it takes a good amount of engineering and people mess up limits all the time, and it would be bad if one was set too low and took down production. Easier to just forgive bills and such.
I'd agree with you if this was AWS or GCloud but Workers Pricing is really simple/not too many pieces to calculate, plus you have free rate limiting and such.
It'd still be nice to have a limit eitherway though
So the problem is that I'm paying for workers
I don't wanna be cheap and leech
but as soon as I pay I loose the safety net - that is not nice
You mean the 100k limit? Even that isn't nearly perfect, you can go way over if you get a spike in requests, or even just normal traffic it takes a while to cut off, just ancedontal experience though.
I agree it'd be nice though, but that existing limit is iffy
there's screenshots of people who have gone a few hundred thousand over
And of course, I totally agree with you. They're powerful, cheap and far from GCP. Yet as indie dev building my own side thing with people using it is unecessary risk that now makes me consider moving to Docker container running the worker on one location where I am paying fixed fees (obviously loosing the edge computing factor)
Never had experience, however read in the docs that they support cutting it off
Yea anything unpredictable is scary. I'd disable the workers.dev and only allow your Workers to be ran behind WAF/firewall, you can setup rate limiting as well (although kind of limited on free).
Otherwise I'd do the math, to get a large bill you'd have to get an insane amount of requests
100 million standard requests is $27/usd excluding duration (which will depend, and you can cap per worker in standard)
Yep, done that. The good thing is that Cloudflare perhaps have the best DDoS out there
If you get DDOS'd Workers and get a large bill from an attack it didn't mitigate you can go through support/billing. There was a case of someone here who got hit by one and they refunded him
My understanding is pretty much all Clouds are like that though, willing to forgive attacks/big bills to an extent
That's great to know! Never heard of that from Cloudflare so wouldn't know if they're THAT kind
I do happen to be rather a big fan boy of CF
they've been making life easier of indie devs since a decade ago
Bump, I love CF products but really wish we had this feature
