I'd love to see more transparency in the way Cloudflare, or CDNs in general, decide to cache or not cache your content. For example: Cloudflare publishes crawl frequencies in their pricing table but what do they actually do with that content? Push it to all their edges? I'd doubt that. I guess it's based on website traffic, your website pricing plan, ... but it seems quite arbitrary to me.

All of this is answered in their documentation [1] and admin console help text.

Most CDNs only cache in the local POP on the first request and respect the headers the origin sends. The crawl frequencies are for keeping things available if your origin is offline and depends on your plan as listed on the site.
