Vercel has launched Flat Rate CDN in Limited Beta for Pro teams, replacing per-request and per-transfer CDN billing with a single fixed monthly fee. Edge Requests, Fast Data Transfer, and related CDN products are no longer metered.
The change targets a real operational risk: viral traffic spikes, bot floods, and misconfigured routes have historically converted into unexpected invoices. Under this model, no temporary usage spike can increase your bill. The fixed price holds regardless of what hits your infrastructure that month.
Pro teams can join the waitlist now to get early access and influence the GA release. The full changelog is worth reading for the specific product boundaries, which spell out exactly what is and is not covered under the flat rate structure.
