Step and storage billing begins August 10, 2026

Workflows pricing now includes per-step billing. Requests and CPU time billing have been enabled since the initial public beta and is not changing.

Workflows adds step billing

A step is each unit of work executed by a Workflow, including step operations such as sleeping or waiting for events.

You can query Workflows analytics, including stepCount for a Workflow instance, with the GraphQL Analytics API.

Steps and storage billing to take effect August 10th, 2026

Starting no earlier than August 10th, 2026, Cloudflare will begin billing for step and storage usage on Workers Paid plans.

Storage pricing has been published since Workflows became generally available and is not changing. Storage is measured as persisted Workflow state in GB-months.

You can review Workflows usage in the Cloudflare dashboard before this change takes effect. To reduce costs, consider reducing the number of steps per Workflow or improving the memory efficiency of your stored state.
