DNS Resolution Error

Good morning lovely people. To preface, my knowledge and usage of Cloudflare is strictly related to domains and DNS.
When I woke up this morning, for Reasons Unknown, one of my subdomains is mysteriously resolving to the wrong IP address(es)

* Cloudflare itself is controlling DNS for my domains. Everything online looks correct. As it should, because nothing has been changed recently.
* The subdomain resolves incorrectly for both myself, and my coworkers 3000 miles away, all on different devices, time zones, and networks.
* It resolves incorrectly when I lookup via 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1, and even a non-Cloudflare DNS provider like DNSWatch 84.200.69.80.
* I do not recognize the incorrect IP addresses being returned by DNS lookup.
* I do not have support with Cloudflare, so I'm unable to report this to them directly, or make official inquiries.

I have not seen a DNS resolution error like this in a very, very long time.
The only course of action I can think of is to alter my A records in Cloudflare to another IP, then back again to the real IP, and just hope the changes "stick" and fix the issue.

But before I did that (potentially destroying evidence of the bug), I thought I'd ask you all "Hey, what's up with this?"

Thanks in advance.
