Yeah, the limit rules in Cloudflare can sneak up on you. I run a small e-commerce site, and during a sale, we hit the rate limits *hard*. Customers were getting blocked, and it was a mess.
The key is to monitor your traffic and set up alerts. Cloudflare’s own dashboard is decent for this, but something like Datadog gives you deeper insights.
Also, if you’re using APIs, spread out your calls. Bursting will get you throttled real quick.
