Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay $120000 within 24h

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
HN thread is here and it's on the front page 7 hours old: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40481808
Many mentions made that a significant part of the issue seemed to be Cloudflare IP addresses getting banned in some countries. They wanted the customer to switch to a bring-your-own-IP plan.
Also, the discussion took place over 1 month, not 24 hours.
I think the HN thread is reasonably informative and nuanced. CF didn't do great but it was somewhat a fog of war situation.
Yeah this substac just reads as we abused cloudflare then were surprised they didn't take us saying no well.
