How much does cost 💲💲 CRAN?

If I am reading this right PyPi #python cost more than 1.8M a month without accountin volunteer and paid employees. Most of it is in the cloud, which #rstats equivalent would be cloud.r-project.org (which I think Posit pays?)
There are also 3 people leading and as CRAN there are other people (but CRAN manually reviews all submissions!).
I think that having mirrors distributed across universities lowers costs but just guessing.
