Quite terrifying. Anyone know if competitors also bill requests which result in a "permission denied"? GCP, Azure, Backblaze B2, etc.?

  It seems nobody replied to you, so let me try. Yes for GCP and Azure, also for GPT...For Backblaze I am still investigating... Two quick examples in different contexts: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1064419/azure-charging-for-failed-request https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1064419/... https://community.openai.com/t/cost-for-failed-gpt-requests/255725 https://community.openai.com/t/cost-for-failed-gpt-requests/... Edit: It seems for Backblaze that would be a no, see below: https://www.reddit.com/r/backblaze/comments/16o4bed/charge_by_404_request/ https://www.reddit.com/r/backblaze/comments/16o4bed/charge_b...

  Gcp def bills requests but not sure about unauthorized requests - this needs testing

  90% sure GCP charges for rate limited API gateway. i.e. doesn't matter if it is above rate limit. Never got 100% confirmation either way though - their documentation on pricing is too vague

    Yea they do, it says always charge when listing buckets. Any way to mitigate this on AWS by restricting access to it via VPC only?

  This note at https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing suggests otherwise: > Generally, you are not charged for operations that return 307, 4xx, or 5xx responses. The exception is 404 responses returned by buckets with Website Configuration enabled and the NotFoundPage property set to a public object in that bucket.
