Tange

I mean...if the extra charges are published on the website, you were supposed to read them. You can ofc negotiate, whether the provider will entertain that or not is another question. But well...it is kinda "I purchased a mercedes and it was $50k, can I maybe negotiate a cheaper price?" situation, which is not good.

First, say who's the provider you're using, what kind of things you added, size, and where you used that S3?

Maybe you should give more details on the deployment.
Choosing the wrong class of object storage, egress pricing, and whatever their policy on various operation will create baffling $$$.
It's a rookie mistake
If you can't stomach $1500 bandwidth bill, perhaps you should have set caps

@systemfreaks maybe can help

You can try negotiating with the provider. Depending on who the provider is, they may be able to offer you a discount. Doesn’t the provider also offer budget limits to prevent unexpected charges?

If you’re interested in migrating, you can also check out our unmetered traffic options and protect yourself from such surprises in the future.

in short, i put the OSS origin directly to visitors, not behind the CDN like before

and unfortunately, i didn't setup caps, then the bill BOOM

Next time, don't immediately sleep after changing configs

$1500 ÷ $0.09 = 16.7 TB of egress.
