-### DDoS protection based on the origin HTTP error rate
-
-Cloudflare’s network is built to automatically monitor and mitigate large DDoS attacks. Cloudflare also helps mitigate smaller DDoS attacks, based on the following general rules:
-
-- For zones on any plan, Cloudflare will apply mitigations when the HTTP error rate is above the _High_ (default) sensitivity level of 1,000 errors-per-second rate threshold. You can decrease the sensitivity level by [configuring the HTTP DDoS Attack Protection managed ruleset](/ddos-protection/managed-rulesets/http/http-overrides/configure-dashboard/).
-- For zones on Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans, Cloudflare performs an additional check for better detection accuracy: the errors-per-second rate must also be at least five times the normal origin traffic levels before applying DDoS mitigations.
-
-Cloudflare determines the error rate based on all HTTP errors in the 52X range (Internal Server Error) and in the 53X range, except for [error 530](/support/troubleshooting/http-status-codes/cloudflare-5xx-errors/error-530). Currently, for DDoS mitigations based on HTTP error rate, you cannot exclude specific HTTP error codes.

+Cloudflare HTTP DDoS Protection can also initiate mitigation based on the origin health. [Adaptive DDoS Protection for Origins](/ddos-protection/managed-rulesets/adaptive-protection/) detects and mitigates traffic that deviates from your site's origin errors profile.

 All HTTP errors in the 52x range (Internal Server Error) and all errors in the 53x range excluding [530](/support/troubleshooting/http-status-codes/cloudflare-5xx-errors/error-530) are considered when factoring in the error rate.

 ## Availability
 
 The HTTP DDoS Attack Protection managed ruleset protects Cloudflare customers on all plans for zones [onboarded to Cloudflare](/dns/zone-setups/full-setup/). All customers can customize the ruleset both at the zone level and at the account level.
