I want cloudflare to stop sending links to bing(webmaster) indexnow, i don’t want to disable the crawlerhints since it will affect all the other search engine.

I’d be great if IndexNow would allow us to select and impact to which search engine we allow this feature. In other words, Crawler Hints does not provide to the customers a simple “checkbox” solution with options to select to whom should be sent and notify.

Currently, we can either enable or disable this feature, or we can prevent of indexing a particular webpage using the instructions as follows on the article from below:
My best guess is, while keeping this feature enabled, we could only give it a try to block particular search engine requests, in your case Bing, and visits to the submitted URLs from the Crawler Hints by creating a WAF rule which would result in a blocked access to the URLs to crawl and index.
