cloudflare_queue_consumer resource is not consistently tracked across applies #6405
Description
Confirmation
- This is a bug with an existing resource and is not a feature request or enhancement. Feature requests should be submitted with Cloudflare Support or your account team.

Expected output
Terraform should be able to track the cloudflare_queue_consumer resource across multiple applies without errors. The existing consumer should remain in the state, and subsequent applies without changes should complete successfully without attempting to recreate the consumer or producing API errors
Actual output
Terraform successfully creates the cloudflare_queue_consumer resource the first time. On subsequent applies without any changes, Terraform cannot find the resource, and attempts to recreate it. The resource is not consistently tracked across applies, even though no configuration changes were made
