Hi, I'd like to enable cache reserve but I've seen the horror stories. Are there spending limits I can put into place?

If not, say if I did get a bill because of a ddos attack, are there payment plans for those who don't have the funds to immediately pay it?

I see the policy is that DDoS attacks aren't counted towards usage but is that just based on what cloudflare recognizes as a DDoS attack? https://developers.cloudflare.com/ddos-protection/frequently-asked-questions/#does-cloudflare-charge-for-ddos-attack-traffic

pretty much. if you want contract guarantees about this you need to talk to enterprise sales, they aren't available on other plans

#

something resembling a fixed price contract is common

I appreciate your response. I've decided to move off Cloudflare because of this unfortunately. It's not assuring to me without spending limits that Cloudflare is not going to charge me for usage I don't want to use. I'd much rather the site go down.
