I'm transferring out ~5TB/day and pay no charges for it. I'm using scaleway (https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/)

How are you finding the reliability. I've been hosting my personal website on ScaleWay, and there's been quite a bit of downtime (say 40 minutes every few weeks). Not a problem for my personal website, but I'm not sure I'd want to host production services on it.

this is indeed true earlier with C2* series instances. I used to face this problem daily, since I also used NAS. They have deprecated that dedicated box series now and currently using GP1-M which is reliable now.

Would you mind sharing how much you’re spending at Scaleway each month (a ballpark would be enough)? I’m just generally wary of claims of unmetered resources at oversubscribed cloud providers — I mean if I’m paying $5/mo and transferring 150TB they probably have every incentive to cut me off. A clearly defined quota with moderate overage fees actually gives me peace of mind.

current monthly charges are around 300eur. totally running 3 servers.

  External outgoing traffic
  First step up to 75 GB: 0 € per GB
  From 75GB to 499TB: 0.01 € per GB/month

Am I missing something?

Yes, you're reading the object storage traffic section.

The servers themselves come with unlimited transfer.

That's object storage, not the servers. AFAIK, Scaleway has unlimited server traffic.
