Do they have a way to cut off FreeTube? I just started using it recently.

Not really, unless they start requiring you to log in before you can watch any content.

In theory they can cut off everything, but it takes some more intrusive behavior on your phone. Essentially they can build a layer required to authenticate your phone as unmodified before allowing it to access any content, using a special api.
