i have 300MBs of infrequent access that i can see from the metrics

Walshy

WWalshy and no, not configured. We just assign IPs

Is this random behavior? Then why do I see that their DNS all consists of two IPs?

nothing is random but again, IP count or what IPs doesn't matter. Some will have 2, some will have 3, some will have 7, some will have 1

What IPs and how many depends on multiple factors which I won't be getting into.

So you don't have an Infrequent Access bucket but are still billed for one or do I misunderstand?

i had some videos that got passed into the infrequent access category because i had set it to do that after 30 days, i have now removed this setting, the infrequent access constitutes only 300mbs of the full bucket size of 20gbs from what i see

Walshy

123123•2/18/25, 12:33 PM

Is it because they are a paid account? So the IPs used are different?

trust me, speed has nothing to do with IPs haha

Walshy

Walshy•2/18/25, 12:35 PM

IPs just get you to Cloudflare, every server within Cloudflare handles your request. You could connect with a random IP found on Google and your site would still be served

What happens at Cloudflare and more likely the cause, your origin is unrelated.

Walshy

LaudianOP•2/18/25, 12:38 PM

Yeah, that would do it. Infrequent Access is almost always more expensive than Standard. Unless you have a huge R2 bill, you don't even need to consider IA. And even if then it's unlikely to save you much, if it all.

MattIPv4

MattIPv4•2/18/25, 1:31 PM

I can't imagine they're going to revert, most websites build themselves in a way where they support a certain number of versions back for a browser, or do it based on usage %. It allows them to use modern features instead of being stuck in the past (or trying to polyfill everything) forever.

I guess you could set the subdomain up as a partial zone, but probably not worth it buying a second Business plan for that.

Erisa

Erisa•2/18/25, 2:13 PM

you cant create subdomain zones with just business plan, and creating a second zone as partial for the same domain doesnt work because a domain can only be on one zone at once regardless of type
you need enterprise to create the subdomain zone for this

MattIPv4

MattIPv4•2/18/25, 2:14 PM

:This: If you have ENT, create a subdomain zone and then add the cert in that zone, so it'll be scoped to just that zone/subdomain
