How much does a KV session store cost at 1 million writes?
Scenario · kv
Writes land exactly on the included million, so the write line is $0. Fifteen million session reads are the line that moves.
On the Paid plan this model comes to $9.00. The other plan, with the same inputs, comes to $0.00. The 30-day month is the same length R2 uses in its storage example. Daily free caps are not monthly pools.
KV writes cost ten times the reads
Paid reads are $0.50 per million after 10 million. Writes, deletes, and lists are $5 per million after 1 million. The same key can be written once per second. Free daily caps fail the operation instead of billing it, and they reset at 00:00 UTC.
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
$9.00 · Paid
The $5 is an account minimum for Workers Paid, not a per-product fee. Included usage sits inside it.
15,000,000 used, 10,000,000 included. Billable: 5,000,000. Exact charge $1.50, shown as $1.50. Paid requests are prorated at $0.30 per million after the included 10 million. They are not rounded up to the next million. Requests served as static assets are free and unlimited, so they should not be included in this request count. On Standard pricing, subrequests and service-binding calls are not extra requests. CPU used by both Workers still counts.
