Truong Dang (@cosmodane) says Cloudflare charged him the full $9 for 51 Class A operations on R2 Infrequent Access, which he calculates should have cost $0.00046. He says his billing ticket went unanswered for 19 days and that a rule rounding usage up to the next million was added to the pricing docs after he was billed. He asks for a refund of the $9; CloudflareHelp publicly asks him to DM his ticket details.
