Reading the Adobe site for the font (https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/proxima-nova#details-section+proxima-nova-thin https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/proxima-nova#details-section+p...) it says: The full Adobe Fonts library is cleared for both personal and commercial use. but farther down it says : to purchase additional licensing and services, including: Self Hosting Sooo which is it? I can see how that would be confusing.

Why are you assuming that these are the same? Self-hosting is outside the normal expected use of the service as you are no longer using the service. Once you are self-hosting, they lose all ability to analytics on use of fonts and data about the users. If you take a font from their service as a self-hosted option, you might as well have retrieved the font from some torrent site (at least from their point of view). I have seen several font license that sets limits on the number of uses per month. If you are some small little blog that maybe has 100 visitors a month, then the basic tier is for you. If you are some uber popular site, then you exceed the number allowed by basic tier licensing, and they expect you to pay for a much more expensive license. They can only track this when you do not self-host. We can discuss if we like this or not in another thread, but this is how they are wanting to operate.
