Prefetching and API calls with server components

With the new pattern of server components fetching their data directly instead of using serverside props, that means that when Links prefetch pages, they also call any API that might be called serverside, which seems like an easy way to run up costs - In my case we're calling several ecommerce APIs to get product data/prices/etc, and those APIs charge us per request. Is this intended? Is it avoidable without disabling prefetching entirely?

You can add props
prefetch={false} to Link component
