Cloudflare Pro Plan: Preparing for 3000% Traffic Spike – Any Limits?
In the near future, about 2 million people will visit my website over the course of 3 days due to an event. The size of my website is approximately 70 MB and it is fully cached by Cloudflare. Data transfer could increase by up to 3000% compared to the same period before the event. Please advise whether Cloudflare could impose any limitations on my account because of this, and how to avoid it. It is very important for me to ensure maximum availability of my website during the event. My current Cloudflare plan is Pro.

100% SLA does not mean 100% availability, even for their own services.
But that's not the point—what matters to me is avoiding any restrictions on my account, and I want to receive appropriate confirmation from Cloudflare staff.
