Yeah I’m thinking the request frequency was the issue rather than bandwidth.
That seems unlikely; trust me, there are services running behind Cloudflare tunnels that are doing more requests per second than whatever you're hosting does in a year.
The only times I've had performance problems with Cloudflare tunnels it's been intermediate network kit that didn't like IPv6 or didn't like QUIC (or both). You can try disabling both in
cloudflaredto diagnose (at least, you used to be able to disable them/switch to HTTP/2+IPv4, it's been a very long time since I've needed to so I'm just assuming it's still an option.)My ISP is stuck in the Stone Age and doesn’t support IPv6, so I’ll look into that.
