[Behavioral] Cloudflare: 503 is now documented on /accounts/{account_id}/ai-gateway/billing/topup

Cloudflare has added a documented 503 response to the POST /accounts/{account_id}/ai-gateway/billing/topup endpoint and its /config variant, according to the company's published API specification. The change means code that calls the AI Gateway billing top-up endpoint must now handle a 503 status that was previously absent from the spec, an unhandled branch in existing error handling.
