Cloudflare Workflows adds step and storage billing

Cloudflare added step and storage as billed Workflows dimensions, with paid-plan charges activating from 10 August 2026.

Billing scheduled

Commercial transition

Previous stateWorkflows incurred Workers request and CPU-time charges while step execution was not a billed dimension and storage charges had not activated.
New stateWorkers Paid includes 500,000 steps per month then USD 0.80 per additional 100,000 steps, plus 1 GB-month storage then USD 0.20 per additional GB-month. Workers Free includes 3,000 steps per day and 1 GB-month storage without overage billing.

Who is affected

Cloudflare Workflows users on Workers Free and Workers Paid plans.

Action required

Model step counts and retained storage, preserve separate Workers request and CPU charges and set budgets before paid billing begins.

Evidence boundary

Retries and rollback handlers are excluded from the documented step count. Workers requests and CPU time remain separately billable.

Timeline
