We don’t charge for malicious traffic like DDoS. Compares favorably to other cloud providers who do.

You don't charge for worker invocations on a L7 DDoS? How do you determine which requests to charge for and which to not charge for?

Or is the claim your DDoS protection is good and accurate enough that there are 0 worker invocations to charge for because they all get blocked?

We aim to block attack traffic. If we fail to block an attack and you get charged for it, file a support request to ask for a credit.

It is reassuring to hear that, could this feature in the docs somewhere? For example when I'm researching this issue this is what comes up as the first result.

Workers Free Tier fail modes are straightforward and preferable for some of the scenarios I would use them for, but KV is only enabled by using Bundled.
