Indie game studio: R2 Class B re-fetches from a short cache TTL drove a $262.18 cycle.
teambrickstream reports a Jul 27–Aug 26 cycle totaling $262.18, of which $259.20 was R2 Class B operations (about 729.61M operations). Game images on a custom domain inherited a 4-hour origin Cache-Control as edge TTL, so unchanged files were re-read from R2 after each expiry. A $10 default budget alert fired on Aug 1 at $38.87 with subject “spending limit reached,” then spending continued for 26 more days. The author asks whether any portion can be credited and how to open a Billing case on the Free plan.
