Uploaded ~20 min to Cloudflare Stream, getting billed for 2040. What am I missing?
Building a wedding photo/video hosting app on Cloudflare Stream. I've been testing heavily, lots of uploads and deletions over the past few days, and yesterday I upgraded to the 2000-minute tier. Since the upgrade I've added maybe 20 minutes of real content, so there's no way I've burned through another ~1000 minutes. But:
- Dashboard shows 400 / 2000 minutes used
- Bulk upload now fails claiming 2040 / 2000 minutes
This is the error that is showing:
HTTP 413
{
"errors": [{ "code": 10011, "message": "Storage capacity exceeded" }],
"messages": [{ "code": 10011, "message": "You have uploaded 2040.00 minutes and are allocated 2000 minutes." }]
}

Two things confuse me:
- Why is ~20 min of real content being counted as 2040 min? (Failed uploads counted? Retry duplicates? Tus resumable upload artifacts?)
- Why does the dashboard (400) disagree with the API (2040)?
Has anyone hit this before, and is there a way to clear the phantom minutes? Thanks.
Here Dashboard picture.
SOLVED: It was an issue on my side, when uploading it is necessary to define the maximum time to allocate for it, i was setting up it super high (60 min for video) which caused to hit limit during upload super early, in particular considering that the average duration of each video is 30-60 seconds.
EDIT: While i didn't solved the issue with reddit answer directly, the fact to give a clean explanation to it was superhelpful. I send this exact text to claude code and codex and asked to diagnose the cause and was able to get the answer to my questions
