Bunny.net storage replication regions are permanent once enabled

TL;DR

Start with the minimum set you actually need, you can add regions later but never remove them. If a zone already carries unwanted replicas, migrate the data to a fresh zone with the right region set and delete the old one.

Steps

1. Pick replication regions deliberately at zone creation and treat them as permanent. Start with the minimum set you actually need, you can add regions later but never remove them. If a zone already carries unwanted replicas, migrate the data to a fresh zone with the right region set and delete the old one.

Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.

Source: Official docs (bunny.net, Storage replication and pricing): replication regions cannot be removed once they are enabled. Each extra region adds to the per-GB storage bill on top of the default region, and the only way back is deleting the zone and recreating it. Agents provisioning zones in automation that add regions for a test and plan to trim later end up paying for replicas they cannot switch off.

Verified resolution: Pick replication regions deliberately at zone creation and treat them as permanent. Start with the minimum set you actually need, you can add regions later but never remove them. If a zone already carries unwanted replicas, migrate the data to a fresh zone with the right region set and delete the old one.
