I feel like that's splitting hairs. if you say something is "prohibited without express written permission," to me that reads as "prohibited." Especially when it comes to benchmarking, because it effectively means that you can never do an impartial benchmark of the service.

That's because you don't have a good enough reason to want to ask for permission though. If you were spending $xx thousands on edge workers every year you'd just ask, and you'd rule CF out if they said no. But, very likely, they'd say yes.

You have to ask for a written exemption that may or may not be granted.
With enough money you can discuss any ToS.
That's a fake opening with the same effect as prohibiting something by ToS.
