coox.in: image caching that resets monthly drove 116,226 Image Transformations and higher bills.
Community user deepshikha.jain.coox (coox.in) says images seem to stay cached for only about a month before being reprocessed, causing 116,226 unique image transformations from January 1 to 20 without new images or traffic changes, and higher billing. The author also reports two possible duplicate charges of ₹6,426.42 and ₹6,425.13 in late December, has contacted support with no response, and requests an urgent review. A community MVP replies that Image Transformations are priced per unique transformation per month. Amounts are in Indian rupees, so no USD amount is recorded.

Lion Brain: a Durable Object alarm loop from an AI-coding bug wrote about 250 million rows, roughly $210.
Replying in another user's Community thread, bennygoldstein says a bug written by an AI coding tool made a Durable Object alarm in their Lion Brain app re-index the same data every few seconds on October 10 and 11, 2026, writing about 250 million rows and costing roughly $210 in overage on Workers Paid. He says he only found out from the budget alert email, which never pauses anything, and that he opened a billing case asking for a one-time courtesy credit and a real hard spending cap.
A budget alert is a horn, not a brake
@GUYUE_LGY points to Cloudflare’s Budget alerts documentation: alerts send email when spend crosses a threshold but do not pause or cap usage. Before letting AI run unattended, the author checks what actually happens at the line.
sylwair: nearly $900 of usage in under two days after a project mistake.
@sylwair says a recent project mistake ran up nearly $900 in less than two days. He says he spotted it in Cloudflare's billable-usage view and stopped the abnormal service, and in a reply adds that the daily billing figures appeared with a delay, so the amount did not visibly drop after he stopped it.
