Disable caching of certain images

Is it possible to disable caching of certain images on a page that aren’t on your domain? For example, I’m pulling this image url (with permission) that updates every 1 minute and I don’t want CF to cache it. I tried looking at page rules, but it is an external URL so I don’t think I can do that.

As it’s an external URL, you have no control over it. Whether it’s cached or not is up to the domain owner.

but they aren’t caching it, CF is

Because they, like you, are on Cloudflare. And they want it cached.
