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.

trustpilot

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

3

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.

4

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.

6

No Default Rate Limiting — DDoS and Bot Traffic Billed at Standard Rates

high overage

Bunny CDN bills for all bandwidth consumed including malicious traffic from DDoS attacks and aggressive bot scraping. Rate limiting rules must be configured manually and are described by users as difficult to set up. Without proactive configuration, a sustained high-frequency attack can exhaust account balance within hours. One user reported $40 in charges from a simple repeated-request attack over a few hours.

trustpilot

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. Also, doing my second college degree now to be able to add a rate limiting rule. 0/10

S3 API Lock-In — Manual Migration Required for Existing Zones

high migration

S3 API compatibility on Bunny Storage can only be enabled at the time a storage zone is created. It cannot be activated on existing zones. Teams that start without S3 and later need presigned URLs or standard S3 tooling must create an entirely new zone and migrate all objects by hand. Bunny provides no bulk export tool, making this a significant operational cost for large datasets.

trustpilot

S3 compatibility can only be turned on when a storage zone is created. Never afterwards. Support confirmed there are no plans to ever change this. So the only way to use standard S3 tooling and presigned URLs is to build a new zone and migrate everything by hand. Fine. Except there is no bulk export. No

8

Account Maintenance Fee Introduced Without Prior Notice

medium addon

Users have reported that Bunny CDN began charging a fixed monthly fee simply for maintaining an account, beyond any usage charges. This caught existing customers off guard when their prepaid balance was depleted by the fee rather than by actual usage. The fee was introduced without apparent advance notice.

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. Moving to another one.

Magic Containers Billed Despite Ongoing Production Instability

high addon

Bunny's Magic Containers edge compute product is sold and billed as a production-ready service but has experienced persistent reliability issues. Users report weeks-long open status page incidents for 502 errors, incomplete features such as no persistent storage, and unpredictable behavior. Customers continue to be charged during extended outage periods.

trustpilot

I've been a long-time user of Bunny.net for CDN and storage, where they've generally delivered good value. But their Magic Containers offering is an embarrassing mess that feels like it was rushed out the door to chase the edge compute hype. This is a billed production product, yet it's been plagued with issues for over a month. Their status page has had an open incident for "isolated 502s" and other Magic Containers problems since late April.
