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.

D1

mcwangcn reports $1,300 in D1 charges after a bot attack.

@mcwangcn says D1 writes previously cost over a thousand dollars and separately mentions Workers CPU charges without giving an amount. He later shares a Cloudflare bill and says $1,300 of its $3,600 came from D1 after a bot attack.

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.
