DDoS portection stopping me from reaching my login page on a free account

I have a free account and this morning when I went to go login into my wp-admin, Cloudflare’s DDoS protection is showing and just keeps recycles and never lets me into my account.

Can’t add a screenshot but this is what it says:
"Checking your browser before accessing website here.

This process is automatic. Your browser will redirect to your requested content shortly.

Please allow up to 5 seconds…

DDoS protection by [Cloudflare]
Ray ID: 72e367d1e86e1791"

I have had CF for a long time and never had this issue before. It has to be a glitch on a free account right?

Any idea how I get rid of it?

If I access the login page via incognito, the DDoS protection doesn’t come up.

Thanks
Chris

You can check why you were presented with the challenge in the Firewall Events Log. The looping is most likely caused by a browser extension which follows if it works in incognito.

Thanks for the advice. I disabled the firewall rule for bots and it let me right to the login page.
