If you do 200Mbps on a hetzner server after cloudflare caching, you are going to run out of traffic pretty rapidly. The limit is 20TB / month (which you’d reach in roughly 9 days).

You are probably talking about VMs - those do have traffic limits. Servers, on the other side, with default 1Gbit NICs doesn't (let's say until you consume 80%+ of bandwidth for months)

Quoting:

> Traffic

>All root servers have a dedicated 1 GBit uplink by default and with it unlimited traffic. Inclusive monthly traffic for servers with 10G uplink is 20TB. There is no bandwidth limitation. We will charge € 1 ($1.20)/TB for overusage.

One would think services like these do not have to rely on online services and have their own rack of servers. Or is this so alien these days?

Small addition: That limit applies to Hetzner Cloud servers, their dedicated servers have unlimited traffic.
