Let's say someone with a botnet is downloading a 5MB file from your server a million times a day. The WAF rule to block those requests would cost you $1 + (1 * $0.60 per million requests) = $1.60. The data transfer if you don't block those requests would cost $450. You save $448.40 per day, or 99.6%, on just the data transfer.
