The thing that scary me most is that his business get shut down without any notice period (at least the author not mentioning any previous communications from Cloudflare team about the issue).

This is really a shitty thing from Cloudflare, you cannot shut down an already running business without any notice/grace period.

If you break any companies ToS they have the right to terminate your service at any time, unannounced. If you break Facebooks ToS, do they email you with a headsup warning? No, they would just ban you instantly.

Yes they should give you a warning to stop or migrate or pay. Companies should be fair to people, Cloudflare and Facebook included.

I partially agree with you if he would had suddenly started doing something wrong, but he was doing this for a lot of time and no one complained before. Cloudflare should give him the possibility to clarify or resolve the issue.

Obviously, in some cases immediate shut down is fine (eg. crazy resource usage, serving some illegal content) however doesn't seem to apply here.
