Little curious to hear how this goes for everyone. R2's promise of infinite egress feels huge. But there's some grumbles in HN threads here & there that folks tend to get forced into more expensive contracts after they actually start using R2. Folks downloading ~90GB data sets daily sounds… taxing.
It sounds like OSM themselves offer diffs? I assume there's something about the format of the diffs, something to do with indexing, that makes full daily refreshes compelling? I don't quite understand the excitement for this release; I'm not well versed here & it feels like I'm missing some key technical reasons why this would be popular.

I initially thought it was Planet serving up a research grade data cache, which would really help unlock innovation in the earth observation space.
The challenge tho is running it over years reliably especially if something in upstream OSM breaks.
