CloudFlare shows much higher bandwidth usage compared to what I see on K3s LB

What is the name of the domain?

What is the issue you’re encountering

I am looking at Cloudflare dashboard and I can’t believe those bandwidth numbers. It says Cloudflare served 400+ gigabytes of uncached traffic yesterday (May 4th). Uncached means the request was sent to my server behind Cloudflare. I have a K3s cluster behind bare metal load balancer and that load balancer usage stats tab says that I’ve used only 239 GB of bandwidth quota SINCE MAY 1ST (so that’s only 239 gigabytes of traffic for the past 5 days). What am I looking at? Why is bandwidth usage so much higher on Cloudflare side? Where do I look to understand the root cause? I’m on Cloudflare Free plan and I’m afraid they are going to kick me out of it for using 7TB of bandwidth for the past 30 days. That’s a lot for CDN.
