Hello - I have a Queue with polling

Hello - I have a Queue with polling client running behind firewall. What is appropriate interval time to poll?

I also want to understand cost for this continuous polling.

to make sure I understand you correctly: you're running a pull consumer?

Cloudflare Docs

Pull consumers | Cloudflare Queues

A pull-based consumer allows you to pull from a queue over HTTP from any environment and/or programming language outside of Cloudflare Workers. A pull-based consumer can be useful when your message consumption rate is limited by upstream infrastructure or long-running tasks.

there are no extra costs associated with using pull consumers. you'll be charged for billable operations, so anytime a message is read, written or deleted, it counts as one billable operation:

Pricing | Cloudflare Queues

Cloudflare Queues charges for the total number of operations against each of your queues during a given month.

as for the appropriate interval to poll: this depends heavily on your use case! what are you using Queues for?

I am using it to process audio/video files uploaded by users.

User upload file on R2 that kicks in event on a Queue - The even is pulled by a worker on another cloud server.

should be doable using Queues, Event notifications & pull consumers!

You've probably seen this already, but just in case: https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/buckets/event-notifications/

Cloudflare Docs

Event notifications | Cloudflare R2 docs

Event notifications send messages to your queue when data in your R2 bucket changes. You can consume these messages with a consumer Worker or pull over HTTP from outside of Cloudflare Workers.
