Are you still attempting to download safebrowsing.cvd?

and continue to download the safebrowsing.cvd account for nearly 10TB of
traffic a month, just for that file.

As a result, we have put in a block to make any attempts to download the
safebrowsing.cvd result in a 403 error.

How about just making the file empty?
Also I wonder if freshclam does not check if the file has been modified, and
skip the download if not?

We’re actually working on this as we speak
