Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

DDoS and Bot Traffic Overage

high overage

Bunny CDN's pay-as-you-go model means malicious traffic or bot attacks can rapidly drain your prepaid account balance with no default rate limiting in place. Users report that a targeted attack against a single resource can cost $40 or more within a few hours. Rate limiting rules require manual EdgeRule configuration, which some users report is difficult to set up correctly.

Someone has targeted my CDN and requested the same resource ~100 times per second for hours, until my budget became negative and I got an alert from Bunny to top up. Such a simple attack cost me $40 in a few hours. Bunny is a toy that I would not recommend to anyone. To not have such a simple protection in place by default is a joke.

expensive, but could not handle my bots traffic problem, and conficult with wp rocket plugin

2

Monthly Minimum Account Fee

low addon

Bunny CDN charges a minimum of $1/month regardless of actual bandwidth or storage usage. Users with dormant accounts or stored prepaid credit balances may find their balance depleted by this recurring minimum charge even when not actively using the service.

trustpilot

I was a happy customer, put some credit there while I was building some stuff, and then they decided charging a fixed amount per month only for having an account. This is the last month they charged and exhausted all the balance I had.

minimum monthly cost is $1 though

Shield WAF False Positives and Tuning Overhead

medium addon

Bunny's Shield WAF/security add-on is reported to generate heavy false positives that block legitimate users, APIs, and internal services. Users report spending weeks manually whitelisting rules to restore basic site functionality, with some needing to disable the majority of Shield rules to stop false blocks. This represents hidden time and potential downtime cost for any team relying on Shield for security.

trustpilot

I've wasted over a month trying to get bunny.net Shield to work without it nuking my entire website. This thing is absolutely the worst. It blocks legit users, APIs, even internal services for no clear reason and gives you zero useful info about what's going on.

trustpilot

their shield product seems to be blocking mostly legitimate requests, based on my servers logs and the ones provided in the dashboard. I could understand if I was running some exotic software, but even bog standard login forms are getting blocked. Having to disable 80% of the rules to disable the false positives isn't really the WAF I needed.

Bunny Optimizer Reliability Risk

medium addon

The Bunny Optimizer add-on is billed at a fixed monthly fee but has experienced extended outages. One user reported the feature non-functional for at least 45 days with no deployed fix, meaning they were paying the monthly fee for a feature that was not working.

trustpilot

Optimizer doesn't work since May 9, and you guys can't fix it since. I'm just curious, how is it even possible? It's been 45 days you can't fix a feature you're taking money for.

5

Trial Credit Expiration Without Clear UI Disclosure

medium addon

Bunny CDN displays trial and promotional credits in the account dashboard alongside real paid balance without clearly labeling which funds are active vs. expired. When promotional credits expire, users may believe they still have spendable funds, leading to unexpected service interruptions. Support confirmed expired promotional credits are non-refundable.

trustpilot

Bunny.net displays a balance in your account dashboard (mine showed $10.86) without clearly labeling it as expired promotional credit vs real paid balance. Support confirmed the credit is gone and non-refundable, but the UI never made that distinction clear. Confusing on purpose.

trustpilot

Their trial offer was confusing to me, and it ended up with my website down until I topped up my balance. It felt that I don't have to have any balance to keep it running since over the trial period it didn't use a cent from the trial credit.
