Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Delete all page rules and recreate them in a different order. 100% fail

    The limit is on the number of rules, not their order. Deleting and recreating doesn't increase the count.

  2. Use Cloudflare Workers to implement the same logic and bypass page rules. 50% fail

    Workers have their own limits and pricing; they are not a direct replacement for page rules. Also, Workers may not support all page rule features like URL forwarding.

  3. Wait for the limit to reset (like a rate limit). 100% fail

    This is a hard plan limit, not a rate limit. It does not reset over time.
