Eh, your traffic is a total cost you pay per month. That's how I would look at it. The one figure I know best of all is annual revenue, and how our annual revenue this year is on track to do compared to last year's. As far as exact volume of QPS or TB/month or whatever, I really couldn't say.
And here I am with a dashboard of anything taking more than 20ms and working knowledge of sales tax in 200 places around the world.
The recommendations to, basically, not keep all your eggs in one basket and have backups of config are surely good ideas. But if you have to plan on dropping cloudflare in some arbitrary 24 hour window, perhaps it’s CF that’s the problem. This sort of stuff and other recent articles about CF are so worrying that it’s now being run by the finance team (hence why every email they got in this article was from sales team…
Well, this is disgusting behavior CF. I wonder if OPs company suing CF?
If OP’s business was in fact illegal, CF should have stated it. Now it seems CF is an evil sales driving monster. A monster that grew so big it thinks it can do whatever it likes.
The sad part is that, assuming OP is not leaving out critical parts, multiple people play parts of this evil machine. I’ve seen how sales people think. But this is next level toxic culture. The second customer threats of leaving for the competition, they freak out and pull a bigger lever to destroy them. And the fact that a company allows this to happen…
I would never do business with CF. Good thing i don’t right now. Cause i will definitely take it elsewhere.

I wonder why they don’t just have clear limits - seems like it would make it easier to grok.
Genuine question: Why did you use `grok` in that context?

How does paying $10k a month solve that?
Nice place you got here. It'd be a shame if something happened to it. Except the "place" isn't Mom and Pop's bodega, it's a casino dodging countries blocking its main domain.
Scammer does recon on victim. Notices they use CF. Use high pressure sales tactic to get them to pay a hefty sum up front or else lose access.
But as you read on, I see company did their own DD and followed up directly with CF executives and teams. Confirmed account is locked at CF.
In this case, CF is acting scammy.
I wonder if they are having liquidity issues thus the push for high pressure sales tactics and blackmail.
Sounds like OP is a casino and plays domain games to avoid regulatory interest. Recommend reading article carefully before reacting to the headline. Hopefully Cloudflare provides a perspective.
