> It started about 20 minutes ago, and it hasn’t stopped. It’s not every few minutes, it’s every time I try to send a message. I appreciate the security, but this is making it very time consuming. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I’ve seen similar issues happen occasionally. If it’s asking for a CAPTCHA before every single message, it could be a temporary security measure triggered by unusual traffic, browser extensions, VPN usage, or an issue on the platform’s side. A few people have reported periods where they were repeatedly prompted, but it usually resolves after a while.
You could try logging out and back in, clearing your browser cache, disabling any VPN or ad blockers temporarily, or testing in a different browser. I’d be interested to know if others are seeing the same thing right now or if it’s limited to certain accounts.
