What is the issue you’re encountering

I’ve been using Cloudflare as a CDN for my site, and everything was working fine until my site recently received over 10K user visits in a short period of time. After that, my site started showing the “Verify you are human” CAPTCHA to users., This creates a bad user experience as visitors need to wait for verification, and I want to avoid this. I’ve heard this might be related to security settings in Cloudflare or the increase in traffic triggering stricter checks.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

Checked the Cloudflare settings for security and traffic thresholds.
Tried accessing the site on different devices to confirm the CAPTCHA issue

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Use Cloudflare as a CDN for a website.
Allow the site to receive 10K+ visits in a short time.
Open the site on a mobile or desktop browser and observe the CAPTCHA (“Verify you are human”) prompt.

You can try to lower the security level of your zone or site.
