Do I get charged for outgoing client requests?
for example if i query something like the facebook api using useEffect, if that's the case, how does it compare to fetching in server components?

No, you won’t get billed for outgoing client requests.
Client-side requests go straight from the end user’s computer to Facebook’s servers, they don’t go through your hosting provider.

@Western paper wasp Well, actually does CSR do a prerender and fetch on the server during that prerender?

useEffect won’t run until after hydration, and never runs on the server-sideuseEffect runs client-only, after the first client render is completed
