matteo.marguerettaz: $9.90 of R2 Infrequent Access operations on a Standard bucket.
Community user matteo.marguerettaz says a two-day-old Free account was charged $9.90 for R2 Infrequent Access operations (10 Class A at $9.00, 8 Class B at $0.90) for August 31 to September 1, 2026, although the only bucket is configured as Standard and its Standard operations were within the free tier. The author asks for an explanation or a billing adjustment if this is a misclassification. A community MVP replies that a billing support ticket is required.

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.
