This happened while I tested the curl command as instructed by cloudflare.com and I am a free user over there as well and I used my own IP protocol for creation of taken. I followed your instructions from the page "How to Generate Unlimited AI Images for Free With Claude Code + Cloudflare"
"PS C:\Windows\System32> curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/user/tokens/verify" \
>> -H "Authorization: Bearer "
{"success":false,"errors":[{"code":1001,"message":"Missing \"Authorization\" header"}],"messages":[],"result":null}curl: (3) URL rejected: Bad hostname
-H:

Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

First, something urgent: you pasted a live API token in your message. Go to your Cloudflare dashboard → My Profile → API Tokens and delete/roll that token right now, then create a new one. Anyone who reads that message can use it.
Now the actual problem,and it has nothing to do with being on the free plan. Free works fine for this.
The command on the page uses a backslash (\) at the end of the first line to continue onto the next line. That's bash syntax (Linux/macOS). PowerShell doesn't understand it, so three things happened at once:
Fix: drop the backslash and put it all on ONE line.
curl.exe "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/user/tokens/verify" -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_NEW_TOKEN"
