Being milked dry by a single DDoS is a hosting issue in my opinion, there should be sensible limits in place, AWS is notorious for making it very hard to understand and control this...
Even if you disagree and consider it a problem that must be solved with a separate DDoS protection service, this is not what I am talking about, I think it's a good idea - if there is a clear ongoing targeted DDoS attack, that system needs to engage and do it's best to try to filter through only legitimate users (which is the only point in time it makes sense to potentially block regular users - because the alternative is that no one can access the site).
The problem is this is not how cloudflare's protection operates, there is no throughput trigger, it's always on, it attempts to block bots at all times and has a very high false positive rate.
