You are using S3 without a CDN 😱😱😱

You really should put a CDN, even of just a Cloudflare free plan, to front the S3 uploads so you don’t drown in egress fees. If possible enable the Origin Shield for even less egress traffic.

Check [Using Object Storage for Uploads (S3 Clones)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-object-storage-for-uploads-s3-clones/148916).
