04/02/2023, 3:49 AMA major bug is that cloudflare at the current state currently cannot distinguish between normal proxy requests vs R2 requests. This can cause you to unknowingly violate ToS 2.8. Although it is getting worked on at the moment which is great. - u

04/02/2023, 4:09 AMYes, you can disable the caching, that fixes the issue (but you don't get the benefits of caching) - k

04/02/2023, 4:41 AMif you happen to be in a position you can use any path for a file and it not matter you could check the size of the file during upload and put it under a specific path that you turn cache off so you still get cache on small files 🤷 - c

04/02/2023, 11:31 AMAWS's empty bucket tool does the same thing, if you have a lot of objects you have to wait for hours while the objects are deleted in sequence - k

04/02/2023, 11:31 AMYou can also set an R2 lifecycle rule on the bucket to delete all of the contents, it will empty itself within 24 hours and you don't have to monitor a process - h
