Is "Update object storage URLs" needed when moving to a new object storage provider?

PeerTube

Hi. I moved to a new object storage provider and my videos seems fine.
I can see the old URLs are still in the database and new videos are updated with the new endpoint.

Do I still need to Update object storage URLs? Is it necessary?

Yes it is, because PeerTube may use the fileUrl sometimes leading to 404 errors

May I know in what condition it will be used?
Because I am using Cloudflare R2 and for example, I have this in my fileUrl.

Cloudflare seems not supporting bucket name as subdomain.
So they are broken anyway.

This work:

This don’t:

Those are just example.

They are used when playing a public/unlisted video, or downloading the files.
