May be worth mentioning Zero downtime failover is a Pro or higher feature I believe, that's how it was documented before as well, back when protect your origin server docs were split by plan level. So you may see different behavior/retries.
"We are also committed to explaining to our users in plain language what is permitted under self-service plans."
I am excited to see what they revise it to. In the past, we've only really had the terms themselves (which were vague), and various social media posts by Cloudflare Employees (including by jgrahamc on HN itself), which made it a bit tricky to try to convince/explain to people that some use cases like caching R2 were allowed, especially when some automated systems went against that. The CF Dev platform is great, and having clear terms will make it easier to convince people to use it.
In particular if you claim that r2 can be used to store and retrieve any blobs of data regardless of content type but that is only via the public bucket urls and not via workers etc it results in a complicated mess where you get pulled in to a service that over promises and under delivers (or worse, start treating your paying customers like hostile entities).
