Massive Argo bill
Hi Cloudflare support team,
Recently, I enabled Argo, but last month I receive a massive bill relate to Argo for data transfer (6k$).
My site use Cloudflare CDN with "Tired Cache" and has ~60TB image and videos transfer thru Cloudflare and my clients are all US region. I don't know if Argo is really effective in this case. And is there any way to reduce costs?
Please help me. Thanks alot

Where is the origin service located?
and how much % of that trafic was cached?
my origin server in
US East (N. Virginia) and cache 99.54%Then its unlikely that Argo will be providing significant benefit
there would be a routing difference still, but if the visitors and origin are both in the US that wont be as noticeable and with such a high cache rate you don't need to optimise the origin connection since only 0.5% of requests are even going to it
Does Argo help access cached data faster? Or just faster in case of cache miss, then Argo will optimize the path from Cloudflare to Origin server?
If that's true, then why does Argo charge for all cached data (99.54%), when it only optimizes for 0.5% data cache miss?
