Several factors can cause this. Cloudflare's DNS servers might be experiencing temporary issues, the IPFS gateway you're using might be down or misconfigured, the CID itself might be invalid or not properly pinned, or there could be a propagation delay after a DNS record change. Additionally, Cloudflare's security rules might be blocking requests to the IPFS gateway if it's flagged as suspicious.
