Serving Video and Images with Cloudflare R2: TOS Compliance Questions

I recently came across this Twitter post: x.com, where someone mentions serving over 15 terabytes of 4K video last month using Cloudflare R2 and paying just $2.18.

This got me curious about Cloudflare’s Terms of Service, particularly like section 2.8 (Limitation on Serving Non-HTML Content). I know that section 2.8 (Limitation on Serving Non-HTML Content) is no longer included in the latest amendment.

My specific question:
If I use Cloudflare R2 to serve non-HTML content like video, images, or audio (similar to what’s described in the tweet), would it be considered a violation of Cloudflare’s TOS? I understand there’s a dedicated service for video streaming called Cloudflare Stream, but I want to ensure compliance when serving such content through R2.

I’d appreciate any clarification or guidance from the community!

Yes, serving video via R2 is completely expected.

You can see that the developer platform is listed as a possible paid product, and R2 is part of that:

Stream just offers a lot of functionality on top of pure storage.
