The Argo (optimized routing to the origin) pricing makes no sense to me either. Cloudflare charge for bandwidth when you enable Argo, but on ALL requests, not just those that hit your origin. There's actually zero change in routing for the cached requests - the client still hits the nearest CF datacenter, but now you're being charged for bandwidth on every cache hit when you used to pay nothing.
I like Cloudflare but some of the pricing decisions on the premium features definitely leave me scratching my head.
