What is the issue you’re encountering

Avoiding surprise or unexpected bills

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

Good day. I’m using a Free tier/Free plan. While saving money, I want to keep my website within the boundaries of free tier. Strictly of automatic scaling that goes beyond the free tier. Please help me ensure that my website stays within the free tier to avoid unexpected bills or any billing surprises. I want to save money to move Cloudflare closes paid tier, but for now, I want to make sure that it stays
within the free tier. No Payment, No Bills. If any of the parameters goes beyond the limit of the free tier, please do not upscale, you can apply restrictions/limits, but please do not upscale beyond free tier, to avoid the above mentioned billings. If I have money, i still want to stick with Cloudflare, but for now help me stay within the free tier, safe from any unexpected billing. I cannot emphasize enough. Thank you for your understanding and have a good day.

In what area can we help you?

Payment issue

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Avoiding unexpected payment issues by communicating with Cloudflare.

I removed the name of the domain to not cause unwanted traffic and it’s not germane to your question.

Don’t enable any entitlements like argo et al.

Hi Cloonan,

Thank you for removing the name of the domain to avoid unwanted traffic.
In terms of features, I only enabled the Basic features that are part of the Free Plan/Free Tier.

For Argo, I did not configure any of those entitlements and thank you for highlighting this.
Also I’m sure that I only enabled only the basic features of the Free Plan/Free Tier, and
have not configure/not enabled any other entitlements.

Following your suggestion not to enable Argo and other entitlements, would you recommend disabling even the Basic Features of the Free Plan?

Thank you Cloonan and may you have a great day.
