 For optimal performance, deploy client applications in one of your cluster's configured regions. CockroachDB {{ site.data.products.serverless }} uses a geolocation routing policy to automatically route clients to the nearest region, even if that region is not one of your cluster's configured regions. This means that if you are running an application from a region that is not used by your cluster, connecting to that region may cause high network latency. This may be acceptable for development, but should be avoided for any production or performance-sensitive applications. Refer to the [CockroachDB {{ site.data.products.serverless }} FAQs]({% link cockroachcloud/serverless-faqs.md %}#how-do-i-get-the-sql-endpoint-for-a-specific-region-of-my-multi-region-cluster) for information on overriding the automatic routing policy.

 Storage for a multi-region cluster is billed at the same rate as a single-region cluster. However, by default data is replicated three times in the primary region and once in each additional region, and each replica in the additional regions will accrue more storage costs. For example, a three-region cluster with data replicated five times will use 5/3 times the storage space of a single-region cluster where data is replicated three times.
 
+Cross-region operations will use additional RUs because of the cost of cross-region networking. Cross-region networking costs depend on the source and destination regions. For read operations, the source region contains the replica and the destination region is the gateway region. For write operations, the source region is the gateway region and the destination region is the region containing the replica. There is a network charge for each replica to which the SQL statement writes. Refer to [Pricing](https://www.cockroachlabs.com/pricing) for a matrix of cross-region costs.
+
+Keep in mind the following key points when planning your multi-region CockroachDB {{ site.data.products.serverless }} application's architecture:
+
 - Write-heavy applications may experience a significant increase in RU consumption because replicating writes across all regions consumes more resources.
 - Read-heavy applications may experience a smaller increase in RU consumption because the resources required to read from a single region of a multi-region cluster are comparable with a single-region cluster.
+- Cross-region reads are an anti-pattern and may significantly increase RU consumption.
+- Cross-region writes will also consume additional RUs, but should not significantly increase consumption.
 
-During the multi-region {{ site.data.products.serverless-plan }} [preview](https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/{{site.current_cloud_version}}/cockroachdb-feature-availability#feature-availability-phases), RU usage for queries that cross regions will not account for inter-region bandwidth.
