This is the part I don't like

> if you use or are suspected of using the CDN without such Paid Services to serve video or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other large files

Lots of sites have images. When exactly can I start to expect paying? Will this unspoken limit change in the future? Will I be notified when it is? As-written, it doesn't seem that way since it's opaque.

Why do you think CF owe you an explanation of when you start paying? You're not paying them; they don't owe you anything.

I imagine it pretty much comes down to "did this one thing that an individual is free hosting suddenly become popular or are they constantly taking the piss/running a biz off free".

CF has a free plan and paid plans. There's a fuzzy line in between. I would like to know when I would be transitioned to a paid plan.

They have an internal metric - I just wish it was public. How can I make a business decision on cost without this?
