Blew over file bandwidth free limit and am confused as how to handle it
Hi, please ping me for my account email (not going to disclose it publicly, I fear spam), but I recently uploaded some 2-10mb videos to my free account for an app I'm building, and - in one day of only me and my fiancée testing it - we blew over 1gb of file bandwidth, going up to 3.6gb. This feels like an absurd thing, to be taxed by bandwidth. All of my users are supposed to have those videos, so I can see my costs skyrocketing for something silly like this, which is crazy and feels scummy on an otherwise amazing product. I'll of course remove those files and use uploadthing or some other thing that doesn't charge me per bandwidth.
Please, contact me and help me understand how I could've better handled this situation. The way I see it, the only way to avoid it is to NOT use convex for file storage, which feels bad.
