Unrelated issue but sometimes Cloudflare docs/communications are not in sync with their actual system which is immensely frustrating. I was bitten a few times.

For instance, a while back I forgot to renew one of my side project domains so it briefly expired for maybe a day or two. Got this email from Cloudflare saying

> Your DNS records will be completely removed from our system in 7 days.

> ...

> Once you have completed this change, click the “Recheck Nameservers” button in your Cloudflare dashboard to ensure your domain stays active on Cloudflare.

I promptly renewed, except there's no "Recheck Nameservers" button anywhere, and the dashboard still read "Moved" for maybe a day. Eventually the problem was just gone, but the communication worried me that entire time.

(I do appreciate Cloudflare's service, though.)

This sounds like a plot of a japanese horror movie.
