WebSocket Pricing for Workers WITHOUT Durable Objects
Hello everyone,
I'm looking for some clarification on the pricing model for Cloudflare Workers that use WebSockets but do not use Durable Objects.
The documentation for Durable Objects clearly states that a 20:1 ratio is applied to incoming WebSocket messages (https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/platform/pricing/) for billing, but there's no equivalent information for WebSockets used without Durable Objects. It's not clear how these connections are billed - is a persistent WebSocket connection treated as a single request, or are there other metrics that apply?
I've noticed this question has been asked a couple of times on the community forums, but there haven't been any official answers. For context, here are the existing threads:
* Pricing on Websocket workers without Durable Objects (https://community.cloudflare.com/t/pricing-on-websocket-workers-without-durable-objects/635456)
* Worker Websocket Proxy Price without Durable Object (https://community.cloudflare.com/t/worker-websocket-proxy-price-without-durable-object/734802)
Hoping someone here might have some insight or could point me in the right direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
