What is the issue you’re encountering
Billed due to applebot crawler? CF does not make it clear what I was billed for!!!
I am reporting this as CF billed me €5 for a recent spike of nearly one million cached pages by Applebot.
From what I can see from the CF Analytics of the domains it protects.
CF does not make it clear enough what I got billed for in the first place, so would be nice to see transparency what domain cause the billing rather than having to go through all 10 sites CF protects and check the Analytics on each to see where the issue occured.
So this is a heads up to CF and the community if this is what actually happen in my case.
Beware been billed for this crawl…
Well I think that’s the reason, with 7GB server in space of the first 2-week of November 2024 (1st -12th Nov)
Steps I took to mitigate this issue in the future?
