The charges still exist even if the end user doesn’t pay them. If you don’t then the shop/restaurant has decided to pay the fees (depending on country this can be mandated by law or just a custom to do it one way or the other)

Developing a car like to a car to that state (drivable at the event) will have taken 2 or 3 years already so I doubt it originally started as a fix for cash flow.

Just as a quick comment the GC configuration on those Cassandra nodes is kinda crazy. I don't think anyone is recommending anyone to run 30G maxheap CMS. Somewhere around 16G you really should switch to G1GC. Also I highly doubt you wa
