hi.
the first time I want to explain that I have 1 domain with statistics per day more than 4 million hits. this domain contains image assets, and about 70% of hits are crawler crawlers like google bing and others.
I want to use Cloudflare workers but I can’t imagine how much I have to pay for each month.
what I want to ask is, do Cloudflare workers have a rule to exclude bots from triggering Cloudflare workers? or if it is not possible, is it possible for me to be able to request a special price considering that every month I have around 150 million hits.
thank you for all who are willing to answer my problem.
~75$ that is your estimated bill.
Workers will always process for set routes.
Perhaps, you need to limit bots crawling rate, assess why this is happening.

What did you want to use a worker for? If you don’t want the worker to run on crawler requests, are you able to host the worker on a route pattern that isn’t highly frequented by crawlers? This is currently the only way I’m aware of to bypass workers entirely without blocking the request. Routes · Cloudflare Workers docs
If your domain has unwanted traffic from bad bots, you can limit their access using bot management: https://developers.cloudflare.com/bots/about
But keep in mind that while you could create a custom rule to also block even good bots, blocking good bot might have SEO implications. Firewall Rules FAQ · Cloudflare Firewall Rules docs
