isacilginmi: an accidental Infrequent Access selection and a pending R2 invoice waiver request.
Community user isacilginmi says an accidental R2 storage charge came from selecting Infrequent Access instead of Standard for a bucket; the storage class was switched back, and billing ticket #02208265 opened on June 27 was still marked New almost three weeks later. The author clarifies the invoice has not been paid and asks for a waiver or cancellation rather than a refund. A community MVP replies that fees are non-refundable under Cloudflare's policy. The amount is not stated.
