Cloudflare spending / usage billing (questions from a noob)
#next-on-pages
I don't see any option to set a maximum spending value, like $50 - $100, on Cloudflare Pages. If it reaches this point, it should just stop. I'm always scared of waking up to an unpayable bill. So I want to try the free tier for now.
1. If I hit the free tier limits, will everything shut down for that day, and I won't be charged? Or will I be charged for additional usage automatically?
2. If I have a full-stack app made in Next.js on Cloudflare Pages that makes a few requests to an external database when it loads and has no payments or anything like that, is this still part of the free tier? When it hits 100,000 loading requests or worker requests (API requests and static asset requests), will everything shut down until I pay? And when I pay, will everything be ready to scale infinitely and f my wallet if I don't see the usage notifications in time?
I've heard a lot of great things about Cloudflare Pages, but after reading the docs, I'm a bit scared of migrating. It sounds cheap but can scale infinitely... I have one client who can post a website on their social media and f me in a few hours if I'm not careful.
If you help me, I can send you some cute dog / cats short videos. Just write me a DM. Thank you in advance.
