I am the OP of that $104K bill post and I have some follow-up questions

[nathanmartin]

@kristopherray There’s a post by Netlify’s CEO on X that addresses some of that (albeit perhaps not to the level of detail you may want):

For keeping an eye on anything new that’s put in place you could track this “feature request” thread:

Add automated kill switch or rate limiting to prevent excess billing from DDOS attacks

Hi, I’d like to avoid a $104,500 bill for my simple static sites on a Starter plan. My sites don’t need to be so highly available that it makes them vulnerable to DDOS attacks and me vulnerable to bills I won’t be able to pay. I’m perfectly happy with my sites going down after 100 GB of bandwidth usage. If Netlify won’t protect my sites, I’ll be forced to look at alternatives that will.
