For anyone who doesn’t know, egress is already free if you route it through CloudFlare’s Bandwidth Alliance Program from a few years back. If you are already using this setup, there doesn’t appear to be any up side to this up coming change (other than the bill).

Free egress is bittersweet. IIRC, previously if you ever actually needed your data back it would cost a lot to download. I don’t think this is better on average but it’s not quite a 20% bump considering that.

This also might allow more interesting integrations where you send and receive large data to your store frequently?

So storage goes from $5 to $6 = 20% increase But we get free download x3 of whatever size we store there? It was 1GB a day limit before right? Above that its 0.01$ per GB, but thats same as before I think.

If all above is correct, its still not that bad imo, at least I dont have to be afraid of using backup, at least not for the first 3 times :)

I was just looking for cheap backup space recently and Hetzners Storage Box BX21 is 13€ per month for 5 TB, 20 Snapshots and unlimited traffic. I did not compare the service with backblaze yet, though.
