This. I have about 20+ hobbyish domains total, & 13 of them are with free Cloudflare Plan, & 3 of them are with their Domain Registrar side. I am completely fine with their free tier & paying for Domain Reg/Renewal. But just in case if in future i need to paygor DNS hosting, I would fallback to regular domain registar's free dns.

I had one website that I was working on, basically zero traffic, besides me testing it. After a couple of months Cloudflare kicked me off the free tier, asked for money. No idea why. I didn't use much of their resources, well within the limits.

That's quite peculiar. I never had that happen and I have over 10 domains with them that I'd describe as basically zero traffic.

Agree that this seems suspect. Have had free domains with plenty of traffic on them for years.

Domain reg/renewal, once you have the infrastructure, seems like it would be minting money.
