Description
### Example URL(s)
Documentation seems to provide conflictig / stale info:
- https://developers.cloudflare.com/bots/troubleshooting/false-positives/
- https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/tools/lists/custom-lists/#ip-lists
- https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/tools/ip-access-rules/
So which one is it? Can you bypass through Custom Rule, IP source + skip? (because it doesn't work, nothing works on a Free account, not even Custom Config Rules)
So besides disabling Bot Fight Mode completely, is there *ANY* other way to bypass it (on a Free account). If yes could you please point out the correct / current documentation for it?
Thank you!
### Actual Behavior
Set a Custom Rule (IP Source) to Skip all components.
All requests from IP get challenged anyway and rule never kicks in.
### Expected Behavior
Custom IP Rule is honored and skips Bot Fighting Mode challenge.
### Additional information
No amount of Custom Rules or Config Rules is being honored on a Free Plan, to avoid Bot Fighting Mode.
Unclear as to how this can be achieve without completely disabling Bot Fighting mode, on a Free account.
