    I've had multiple people complain about this in the past month, and I myself am seeing way more CF challenges than ever before, like 20 per day throughout my daily browsing of the internet. I have been using a VPN 24/7 for years, so I'm used to 2-3 per day but this is crazy. Hopefully this will end soon.

    All your posts are very informative, thank you

    FYI, there's a known bug with Bot Fight Mode and Cloudflare Workers having their subrequests challenged by Bot Fight mode. For now while Cloudflare are working on it and if you use Cloudflare Workers, you need to disable Bot Fight Mode. I ran into this issue a week or so ago. Maybe this one is related.

    Ok confirmed with Cloudflare and the above Bot Fight Mode issue is the same issue I reported before related to Cloudflare Worker subrequests being incorrectly caught in Bot Fight Mode challenge firewall actions.
