Bandwidth when transforming via URL
Deciding whether or not we should use Cloudflare for image transformations or host something like imgproxy ourselves. We already have the images on AWS, but it's not clear to me if there is no bandwidth used after the first time we load an S3 image proxied through Cloudflare. Both from S3 and Cloudflare

You are only billed per unique transformations per month, but that is separate from caching. Caching is up to the origin Cache-Control response: https://developers.cloudflare.com/images/troubleshooting/#caching-and-purging, and iirc Image Resizing uses Generic Tiered Caching (not normal cache), but that's still not global/multiple independent caches which would need to be filled
