Bot Management Billing Question

Are all viewed pages billed with Cloudflare Bot Management for Enterprise or all blocked requests excluded from billing ? Luc

Bot Management is billed as part of an Enterprise contract. You are not charged per request.

Thanks Albert. Yes, with an Enterprise contract there are bandwidth subscription. So, Is traffic from bad bots that are blocked by the bot management feature counted in my bandwidth consumption or is it excluded and just clean traffic is take into account in the billing ?

Generally speaking, is blocked traffic (fw, bot management, …) counted in the bandwidth consumption for billing?

My understanding is that no, it’s not. Some enterprise customers sign up for the bot protection because it’s cheaper to buy bot management than it is to pay for the bandwidth some bots consume.

I’d reach out to sales and confirm it with them.
