308 redirect loop only when Cloudflare is not paused

What is the name of the domain?

What is the issue you’re encountering

When Cloudflare is not paused the site can be loaded fine. When un-paused all requests receive a 308 response code

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

Used the Trace tool to locate any potential rules, none found and I haven’t set any up as this is a brand new domain.

Cleared browser cache to ensure it isn’t a local cache issue, it is not as it occurs on multiple browsers and devices.

Check your SSL/TLS setting is set to “Full (strict)” in your dashboard here…

It isn’t at the moment, it is set to Automatic which is using Flexible.

Have switched it over to be Full (Strict) manually and it looks like it has solved it.

Makes sense, I guess it was trying to hit the origin server on http but that was redirected to https and thus the redirect loop.

Will monitor it but thanks for the tip!
