Found forbidden string 'coming soon'. Too often we set expectations unfairly by attaching this phrase to a feature that may not actually arrive soon. (add [skip style guide checks] to commit message to skip)

:::note[`persist` and pricing]
By default, `persist` is `true`, which means logs and traces are both exported to your destination and stored in the Cloudflare dashboard. Dashboard storage is billed [separately](/workers/observability/logs/workers-logs/#pricing). Set `persist` to `false` if you only need data in your external destination.
:::

Once you've configured your Wrangler configuration file, redeploy your Worker for new configurations to take effect. Note that it may take a few minutes for events to reach your destination.

Exporting OTel data is currently **free** to those currently on a Workers Paid subscription or higher during the early beta period. However, starting on **`March 1, 2026`**, tracing will be billed as part of your usage on the Workers Paid plan or contract.
