Generally, if they are not inside of somewhere that closes earlier. They have some freestyles in the ice/vending rooms, and those would be 24 hours. The one inside of the quick service would likely close with the quick service. If the one outside by the pool has a metal gate, it probably closes around the time the pool closes, but I believe that one is 24-hour.
Please note, though, that the syrup might run out for some sodas and there will be no CMs to replace the syrup until the morning. With that being said, there should be plenty of syrup to last the whole night.

Forgot to reply with an update on this. Stayed at CBR for 2 weeks in May, which was overall a pretty poor stay by Disney standards, but the freestyle machines were great, we had one just around the corner from our room and certainly got our moneys worth out of them.
By evening there was almost always some drinks not available but they must fill them up very early because by 7am they were full again.
The refillable mugs are usually a no brainer anyway but 100% recommend them to anyone on the fence and staying at CBR.

I wish these machines were implemented at other large, sprawling Resorts and were scattered all over.

I'm the opposite, although I should probably thank Disney -- the fact that they installed a bunch of Freestyle machines means I don't drink Coke I might otherwise drink and end up just drinking more water.
I understanding liking the machines if you want to mix up flavors, but if you just want regular Coke... you can't get it. The "Coke" from Freestyle machines is terrible and tastes nothing like Coke from bottles/cans/normal fountain machines.

I KNOW! I like the selection, but the flavors are SO off for many of the drinks. I’ll drink a bunch of soda at the actual soda fountains, but I usually just fill my mug with ice water at the Freestyles. I would probably get used to the flavor of the Freestyles if I used them more, but nothing beats a traditional soda fountain. At the Riviera, for instance, I’ll walk out of the quick serve (Primo Piatto I believe?) and walk around the corner to the bar with an actual soda machine. Freestyles are painfully close to the right flavor, but just not right. Sorry about my little soda rant
