> Finally, we made it clear that customers can serve video and other large files using the CDN so long as that content is hosted by a Cloudflare service like Stream, Images, or R2.
> Video and large files hosted outside of Cloudflare will still be restricted on our CDN
It is a bit confusing, espec when they only enforce it at super high usage/when it becomes an issue, but makes sense that a Worker isn't a magical free pass when you don't get charged Bandwidth on them either
