I've wondered for a long time what the cost to bill accurately for cloud providers is. Is a lot of the cost associated with S3 API requests or outbound network traffic actually the cost of all the logging/metrics infrastructure needed to bill accurately for it? > R2 will zero-rate infrequent storage operations under a threshold — currently planned to be in the single digit requests per second range. If you a) don't bill for those in the 90th percentile of access and b) aren't too specific about the point at which you start billing, then you can eliminate a huge amount of complexity.
