Is it written anywhere in their ToS that “gambling content” requires you to pay 120k$ or get booted out? If not, then it's not reasonable at all to give them a 24-hour notice and it definitely sounds like extortion.

I don't buy the “was getting Cloudflare owned IPs blocked left & right” argument.

Remember we are talking about a platform that still protects 4chan despite the internet raids, violence threats, celebrity hacking + photos leak, the buffalo shooting, etc:

Surely there are abuse and fair use provisions in their ToS/contract for shared resources like IPs. If they're in the xx percentile of customers causing IP blocks they'd enforce.

    Industry practice is to just move all the risky customers in an IP range dedicated to them

      Yes, Cloudflare does that but they don't hand out blocks of dedicated IPs to low paying customers. IIRC you need to be on a contract instead of a monthly plan which is typically a big price increase.
