You can check in any time you like but you can never leave.S3 is 9 cents per GB egress fees.Cloudflare R2 charges zero egress fees.At list price of 9 cents per GB it would cost Canva about USD$20 million to export their 230 petabytes.

Tens of millions wasted.
Canva is likely trapped in S3 never to exit. The cost of getting their data out makes it impossible.
S3…. the Hotel California of the cloud. You can check in any time you like but you can never leave.
S3 is 9 cents per GB egress fees.
Cloudflare R2 charges zero egress fees.
