That response misses the point by a wide margin.
Not a big surprise given they think HN threads are an acceptable form of customer support for paying customers.

> Never entirely trust what is said to you to secure/continue a sale, unless you have it written in a contract. This time last week, Cloudflare shut off our access to one of their services we were using because we went over quota. Well, we had actually negotiated overage charges and did actually have this in our contract. They turned the service off anyway instead of applying the overage charges we had agreed. This i…

#155Literally just sent an email to my devops guys to move off cloudflare asap. This cavalier lack of respect is a diservice and insult to all the people who rely on my product for their livelihood.
The only way to actually be protected in this case is to run a multi-cloud strategy. Even then it's only going to protect you so far if you piss off the powers-that-be / community (see the hosting trouble Parler had as an example, not that I'm fond of Parler or anything).

#156Around 12:00 UTC today ban has been lifted for my account thanks to @jgrahamc - thanks!
So HN to the rescue again. It's unfortunate (although the outcome is great for you!) that you have to go through the social media amplifier first.

Considering that you weren’t, technically speaking, violating any terms of service, this response from them leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth. Good luck, and thank you for sharing this with us all.

You’re changing your arch because you saw a one-sided completely unverified post on HN? At this point @jgrahamc has the worst of it - people show up here time after time hoping they can make enough of a stink to get him involved.
When they could just email me (jgc@cloudflare.com)
If you go to the R2 Discord channel you see this happening every other week.
What is also kinda annoying is customers can't create support tickets because it requires a plan. Which imo is bad given these customers pay for R2 and often have a ton of data on it (which is why the 2.8 gets hit...).
Hopefully you can get this fixed permanently (for all customers at once, and not case-by-case).

Personally I maintain my opinion that problems getting fixed by HN are a bigger red flag than problems not getting fixed at all. The HN reader Upper Management Person either thinks putting out fires before they become higher profile failures is a cheaper way of avoiding bad press than instituting actual good policies with regards to not fucking over their customers, or they want to implement those policies but are no…
