Is there a way to know when the encrypted content i send to a site is also being provided to Cloudflare?

Isn't the SSL certificate being issued by Cloudflare a giveaway?

I'm guessing it's a sufficient condition, bit not a necessary one. I.e, a could be using Cloudflare's WAF with a SSL cert issued by somebody else.

Cloudflare can issue from Google Trust Services/Digicert with ACM[0] and often does even without ACM (although maybe only for Business/Enterprise domains).

0: https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/edge-certificates/adva...

Check the whois entry for the IPs that domain resolves to. If they belong to CloudFlare, they can see the plaintext traffic. Same for Akamai, Cloudfront and others.
No, just like there is no way to know if a site not fronted by cloudflare decided to send all traffic their after.
