Does a 200,000 request day fit on the Workers Free plan?
Scenario · workers
Six million requests in 30 days is 200,000 on an even day. CPU at 5 ms would fit. The request cap does not.
On the Free plan this model comes to $0.00. The other plan, with the same inputs, comes to $5.00. The 30-day month is the same length R2 uses in its storage example. Daily free caps are not monthly pools.
The Free plan fails closed
Workers, KV, D1, Queues, and Durable Objects do not publish Free overage prices. Past the daily cap, the call fails. R2 is the exception in this calculator: its monthly free tier is published next to Standard rates, so storage and operations above that tier are billed even without the $5 plan.
Read this before you trust the total
Free plan lines at $0 can still be an outage: error 1027, error 1102, or a D1 quota error. R2 above its monthly free tier is billed on both plans. Durable Object requests round up to the next million, as in Cloudflare's own Example 1, which bills 500,000 requests as 1 million.
This model
$0.00 · Free
Free quotas for Workers, KV, D1, Queues, and Durable Objects reset at 00:00 UTC. A month that averages under the cap can still fail on one busy day. R2 is different: its free tier is monthly, and usage above it is billed on both plans.
A typical day is over the 100,000 request cap, so expect error 1027. 200,000 versus a cap of 100,000.
Free cap 100,000 per day. This monthly total averages 200,000 per day across 30 days. The line is $0.00. The Free plan has no request overage price. Above 100,000 requests in a UTC day, Cloudflare returns error 1027. Requests served as static assets are free and unlimited, so they should not be included in this request count.
Published cap 10. The line is $0.00 because this Free meter is not billed as overage. Each Free plan invocation may use 10 ms of CPU. This line is not a monthly pool, and it is not billed.
Assumptions
- A 30-day month and steady traffic across it.
- Rates as published on 2026-10-25; taxes excluded.
- The Free plan does not bill Workers, KV, D1, Durable Objects or Queues. When a daily cap is reached, requests fail until 00:00 UTC instead of costing more.
