If you have the ability to shift your entire enterprise CDN away from them, why not first try renegotiating?

Just FYI in case it helps you - https://docs.fastly.com/en/guides/outbound-data-transfer-fro...
They also do charge for Enterprise plans, but instead of transparent pricing I got high-pressure sales techniques and black box pricing offers - which then anchored our rate so that as we grow past our current contract, we're forced to upgrade at any point with pricing based solely on our original negotiation.
Frankly, while I save money using Cloudflare over Azure's CDN right now, it's left a very sour taste in my mouth and I'll be jumping their ship as soon as I have time to find a suitable alternative.
