Okay, if that's not the best way to prove that Vercel stays concerned about your users experiences I'm a capybara. Good notice! |

Man, I panicked for a second thinking Vercel was going to pull a PlanetScale and drop the free tier. 😵💫😅 |

Not a chance! We love hobby projects and open-source development way too much to even consider taking away the free tier. |

Thank you Vercel for staying accessible, my useless garbage hobby projects wouldn't live without you lot |

I can notice that there is big inconsistency between multiple projects „Edge Requests” usage. Even very, very similar project are making much different usage. In My test case smaller app (Lets call it X) is making around 25k Edge Requests daily, when bigger one (Lets call it Y) is making only 800 edge requests. The point is that X have no logs (as there is almost no traffic) and Y have almost perfect 1:1 ratio with logs from Axiom (Log Drain). This issue persists for any deployment on Hobby and Pro tier. Hope that anyone will look into that as it’s pretty bad sign that we can’t trace from where are those request, to which resource etc. There is currently no way to trace/debug and optimize this metric usage on Vercel :( |

When you look at "Requests" under "Top Paths" on the Usage page, what does it say? |

@leerob already got to solve that on my end: On top paths was only domain with root path https://github.com/orgs/vercel/discussions/6640#discussioncomment-9259960 Feature request:
So we would be able to diagnose such situations on our-own without hours of waiting to check how it really affects this metric. |

@amyegan any chance for monitoring module free tier usage? :D |

Hi, the communications about the pricing being mostly the same look terribly wrong for us. The projected price of Vercel for us this month is more than 5x. Maybe that's because we are a B2C product and this pricing is thought for B2B customers? |

@leerob yes, we have already lowered our ISR revalidation timeout to 24 hours and stopped pre-building the pages on every release. The problem is still the same. 9 days left and the bill is already almost 600$ |

How many ISR pages do you have? That's a decent amount of writes if it's every 24 hours. Is on-demand ISR an option? |

Thanks @leerob for the quick response :) On-demand ISR wouldn't solve the problem: we deploy our frontend at least once a day, meaning the pages would still be built at least once a day as today. Also on-demand ISR would require a lot of development on our side as it would require rigorous cache invalidation logic (but anyway as said it wouldn't really solve the problem)... |

@leerob any solutions for me here that you can think of? Or did Vercel really get much more expensive for us B2C customers with this update? |

Can you share your project URL so I can take a look further? |

Hong Kong and Singapore these two regions consume 70% of all my resource, while they are less than 15% of all my user demographic. The edge network on these regions may be the main reason my cost are increase significantly. |

I don't know if this is what you looking for |

Should you consider moving that SVG to blob storage? Might be relevant, but you can also restrict traffic to your site (and thus usage) through the Vercel Firewall: https://vercel.com/docs/security/vercel-waf/custom-rules |

Appreciate for all your help @leerob, but restricting traffic is not what I'm looking for. |

Apologies, I misunderstood your previous comment. Let me know if moving some of those assets to Blob storage works for you. |

Look, I loved Vercel products, and I definitely believe it deserves what it stands for today. However, the new updated pricing structure is not working for me, and others might feel the same. If it continues to quadruple my bills, I'm looking for other hosting services, I can't afford this as an amateur PRO User. |

Hey @IVEN21. Thanks for sharing these details. It looks like. Edge Requests are the largest contributor with some also coming from Web Analytics Events and Function Invocations. There are some docs available to help you manage and optimize these areas of usage. Have you tried any of these tips yet? |

80% of my user demographic is from Taiwan, but I don't see their edge requests reflected here. Could it be because they use networks or DNS servers located in Hong Kong? I'm don't know why only 5% of my users from Hong Kong are generating up to 50% of the edge requests, while the 80% from Taiwan users aren't even showing up on the list. I did some research on Vercel regions and noticed that they don't have a region in Taiwan. I’m guessing most of the East Asia traffic would be routed to either HKG1 or SIN1? |

Requests are routed through the nearest available region in the network. You can see the full list of Vercel Edge Network regions here: https://vercel.com/docs/edge-network/regions#vercel-edge-network-regions |
