sunshineman1970 I have solved it by creating a WAF custom rule that skips the user agent
"Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; bingbot/2.0; +http://www.bing.com/bingbot.htm)"
and the IP address that was getting blocked
you can also create WAF exceptions by Cloudflare's guide

I have the same issue, Bing is not indexing all of my site pages, although my site speed is very good.
I have following instructions by Bing
1. These pages have 400-499 http status code. Ensuring http status 200 might help improve SERP performance and gain user traffic.
2. Urls with these errors may be fixed by updating your site
I did both steps and checked my site speed with Gtmetrix and PageSpeed Insights, the results and better then many sites that are indexed on Bing.
I am mentioning my site URL (If allowed) https://techsaa.com Please check it and help me. I need some easy instructions.
Thanks
