2.8 Limitation on Serving Non-HTML Content

The Services are offered primarily as a platform to cache and serve web pages and websites. Unless explicitly included as part of a Paid Service purchased by you, you agree to use the Services solely for the purpose of (i) serving web pages as viewed through a web browser or other functionally equivalent applications, including rendering Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) or other functional equivalents, and (ii) serving web APIs subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.8. Use of the Services for serving video or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other non-HTML content is prohibited, unless purchased separately as part of a Paid Service or expressly allowed under our Supplemental Terms for a specific Service. If we determine you have breached this Section 2.8, we may immediately suspend or restrict your use of the Services, or limit End User access to certain of your resources through the Services.

done fucked up. Pic8 is definitely "serving video or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other non-HTML content". looks like they finally noticed this and shut it down.

Pic8 doesn't use cloudflare.

one of the underlying image hosts uses cloudflare. I have disabled pic8's redirection to that host. This issue should be resolved now

I just went to the URL shown in the image and read through the terms to see what restrictions are placed on sites using the service. Took me about three minutes of reading. I found a few other relevant restrictions, but this one seemed to be the smoking gun as it directly relates to the way Pic8 works.
