Information on how OSM tiles Work: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tiles

We are currently using raster tiles directly from OSM Tile server. Conditions of the free server use is the license attribution (tag at bottom).

"OpenStreetMap data is [free for everyone to use] Our tile servers are not."

WorkAround We have temporarily switched to using Bright-OSM on MapTilers service. It is free for now, but when we reach limit we will need to pay for the api and could be taken off of the deployment page.

Possible Scenarios The styling of OSM-Bright itself is free. We can either create our own tile server costs currently unknown and work required unknown. Or pay for Maptiler Cloud which can range from $70-$300 a month.
