First and first, I must stress that this is a bad idea and that I do not recommend it. Why? Because you’ll remove all of Cloudflare’s protection for the wp-admin dashboard.
Cloudflare waits 100 seconds for an HTTP response. If the origin doesn’t respond in that time, Cloudflare closes the connection and you’ll see “Error 524: A timeout occurred”. The right solution for this scenario is to troubleshoot the website, determine the cause of the issue and fix it.
With that said, here is how to exclude wp-admin from Cloudflare.
Froom Cloudflare dashboard navigate to Page Rules and create a new rule with yourdomain.com/wp-admin/* and add two settings: Disable Security and Disable Performance
Save the rule, that’s it!
