Original post Follow-up Hit by a Cloudflare bill assassin: a $10k bill. The cause was a Durable Object alarm in an infinite loop in one project, which did 6 trillion reads and writes. Vibe coding failed me. Update from the author: Paid the full Cloudflare bill (US$10,811.41) — “the second most expensive lesson of my life”. The support ticket for a reduction only got bot replies in a loop. Cloudflare staff contacted on X and other channels said they could only “take a look”, nothing more. All projects will move off Cloudflare to self-hosted VPS. Conclusion: One vibe-coded Durable Object alarm kept rescheduling itself forever. Cloudflare has no hard spending limit, so the loop ran until the invoice came. Not refunded — the author paid in full. tldr: An infinite loop in a Durable Object alarm did 6 trillion reads/writes and caused a $10,811.41 Cloudflare bill that was not refunded.
