Billing, Workers - Budget alerts now on by default for Pay-as-you-go accounts

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

We are turning on budget alerts by default for eligible Pay-as-you-go accounts. If your account does not already have a budget alert, Cloudflare will create one for you with a $10 account-level threshold. Your default alert will enable at the turn of your next billing cycle, so it will not fire based on usage you have already incurred.

We are rolling this out in cohorts over the coming weeks, so eligible accounts may see their default alert appear at different times.

The default alert behaves exactly like an alert you would create yourself. When your cumulative usage-based spend this cycle reaches the threshold, you receive an email notification. The alert is informational only. It does not cap your usage or impact your account in any way.

Usage is processed once per day for the prior day's activity, so budget alerts fire the day after the threshold is reached rather than in real time.

Budget alerts only consider spend on usage-based products. Recurring subscription fees, such as the Workers Paid plan fee or other monthly plan charges, are not included in the threshold calculation.

You can change the threshold, add additional alerts, or remove the default alert entirely from Manage Account > Billing > Billable Usage, or from your Notifications settings. If you already configured your own budget alert, nothing changes.

Enterprise contract accounts are not in scope.

For more information, refer to the Budget alerts documentation.

Billing - Modernized Billing Profile with new payment options

Thu, 21 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The Billing Profile now has a modern UI and a single space that unifies billing information, payment method management and an enhanced subscriptions view under a single Subscriptions tab.

What changed

The Subscriptions tab brings billing information, payment method management, and your subscriptions together in one place. The payment management and Pay overdue balances flows now use the latest checkout as product purchase flows, so you can pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, and Instant Bank Payments via Link alongside cards and PayPal.

New cards complete 3D Secure authentication when the issuer requires it — for example, the EU under PSD2 and India under RBI.

For details, refer to the Billing Home documentation.
