Why this matters for a Cloudflare Worker mirror
Installing a NORG edge mirror binds a Cloudflare Worker to the route {domain}/* — every single request to your site passes through it. On the Free Workers plan, an account is capped at 100,000 requests per day. Once you exceed that cap, Cloudflare stops invoking the worker and returns an error for every request to that route — human visitors and search-engine crawlers included, not only the AI-agent traffic the worker exists to serve.
The install preflight detects a Free-plan zone and returns a warning (code free_workers_plan) before anything is installed — but it is a warning you can confirm past, not a hard block. If your site gets meaningful traffic, or you expect real AI-agent request volume on top of it, check your plan before installing, not after.
What the Paid plan changes
The Workers Paid plan starts at $5/month and replaces the 100k/day hard cap with 10 million included requests per month, billed at $0.30 per additional million beyond that. There is no daily cliff that errors your whole site — usage above the included volume is simply billed, not blocked. Exact current pricing and limits are Cloudflare's to set; see their own docs below rather than a number restated here that can drift out of date.
How to upgrade
In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to Workers & Pages — the usage-model / plan option is on that page. For the authoritative, current steps and pricing, use Cloudflare's own documentation:
