Traffic down 50% but Supabase bill up 300% and Vercel up 400%

Developer @pbertranddev shares a client case that's the inverse of the usual story: traffic down 50%, Supabase bill up 300%, Vercel bill up 400%. DanielLockyer amplifies it with a "Good lord".
The inverse correlation — collapsing traffic with exploding bills — is a classic signal of bot/crawler traffic inflating compute and bandwidth costs, a cautionary case for indie devs and small teams watching their hosting spend.
