我也被 AI 坑了，这两个月额外多消耗了100多刀，发邮件给 Cloudflare 两个来回讲清楚了，里面就取消了。客服服务这事儿，有时候还是要看人。 pic.twitter.com/k1AlcWMX42

@shmily7 reports a Durable Object alarm loop in an unused test project, then says he paid the full US$10,811.41 bill to avoid service suspension. Cloudflare’s Ashley Peacock publicly says he is looking into it internally and will follow up. Cloudflare’s Dane Knecht later replies that he escalated it too.
