Specifically talking about from Coinbase/Circle & similar platforms that come directly from a bank account. Does it raise flags if you're buying bitcoin often? Or is buying too much during a certain timeframe suspicious?
Is buying too much BTC a flag?

Coinbase, yes. Circle I haven't heard much about, but it seems they're going down a similar route.

Get a wallet you control from your pc. Get a pre paid visa and go to localbitcoins or something similiar and store them in your own wallet, password protected and encrypted.
Electrum is what I use as a wallet.

I've had the same thought. I use Circle. If they decided to ban me I could just say that I buy and sell alot for whenever it spikes up a bit for extra cash or whatever. Or sometimes I need the money for bills or something so I sell it back or whatever. Idk, im high and trying my best to be of help

I've also wondered the same thing but not necessarily caring about the exchange..more like the IRS or banking niggas

just use localbitcoins cash-by-mail, or in person cash trades. cash in mail traders usually charge 4-8%, in person like 3-10% in my experience. but you don't have to tumble.
compared to buying on circle/coinbase, which charge like 2-3% if I remember correctly, plus 2-3% tumbling fee. post-purchase, you end up paying a ~2.5% fee on your remaining ~97.5%, so once all's said and done you paid ~5% total in fees.
assume 6% fees for cash by mail, plus $6.45 for shipping. total comes to be 6% + 6.45, with complete anonymity and zero limits. compared to paying ~5% and having all that shit linked directly to your personal information.

Is existing a flag?
Can you raise it? Does it flap? If the answer is no, then it's not a flag.
