@hutch

what else to do

You may want to enable under attack mode (in the Cloudflare dashboard, do that from the overview page of your website).

Next, you may want to block instead of challenge some of this traffic, https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/security/events

Thanks. I only have the Free plan but I’ll see what I can do within those confines. It’s becoming untenable.
