Probably not. Keep an eye on bandwidth usage since you'll be charged for that but you would need to attract an incredible amount of bot traffic for that to add up to anything meaningful.
The thing to watch out for is platforms like Vercel or Google Cloud Run where you get charged more for compute if you attract crawlers, potentially unbounded (make sure to set up spending limits if you can.)
