HCaptcha buffering on USPark site.
Loading blank and then disappearing
its not letting me verify
hCaptcha is doing that thing again where it just repeats itself four million times and doesn’t actually verify you. It’s been doing it since yesterday and I’ve tried to get friends to do the same at multiple other places too; they had the same problem
I try on laptop and phone and every time i fill it out to create a Steam account it tells me i've done it wrong. I've done this about twenty times i know my answers are correct ive done so many different prompts and when i go to sign up for accessible access it also gives me an error.
Can't log in it says server error
Site stuck not returning hcaptcha element.
logging in on Steam fails and reports "Your response to the captcha appears to be invalid."
After I successfully complete the visual puzzle, it reverts back to the starting point, over and over. Also, I cleared my browser cache and history.
"You must answer the CAPTCHA." but i did. 5000 times.
It's stuck in a loading loop
whenever i try to use an accessibility cookie, it says that's not working. this is my first time trying to create a discord account and i already want my head cut off
It's broken on a website I use
Can't solve hcaptcha to create account on Steam.
Correctly entering images to verify I'm a human and told incorrect. I've had this on two different websites.
Trying to use a Trafalgar website to make a payment and the ‘human’ check is looping where it sometimes shows images and sometimes will not. It will not let users proceed through to the payment though.
Hcaptcha throws internal "hcaptcha-api" error
Captcha not letting me move forward
One more step before you're done Error on stripe
Isn't loading on Kobo store
keep doing it correctly over and over again and every time I have to do it again on discord
I press "verify" and sometimes it doesn't work. Other times it gives me the little "click the anomaly" confirmation screen but then won't confirm once I complete them.
Captchas not loading. Runtime error in console: "index out of bounds"
Hcaptcha not recognizing correct answers for more than 3 different capchas on Epic games.
hCaptcha error: The response parameter has already been checked, or has another issue. I have this issue when I try to log into my wordpress website
Im trying to verify in discord, but it just closes out of the window
Rate limited error when verifying status as human
On shopify - hcaptcha not working - giving console warnings
Hello hCaptcha isn't working properly. Sometimes it just doesnt appear & when it appears, i click on the field and nothing happens ... it just loads forever.
Not loading on other sites
Attempting to verify myself to logon to eBay and half the squares are grayed out, wont refresh went
Yet again with these "security" companies breaking the internet, trying to do business on eBay and hCaptcha is crap. Only one or two squares populating, can't skip or reload.
All squares are not populating--some are grey--can not verify and no skip button
Consistent errors, “network has sent too many requests” across different browsers and OSs
captcha not working as intended. Please take a look at it or fixes. its been over 7 hours since it is down
hCaptcha is not response with score.

Because IsDown is a status page aggregator, which means that we aggregate the status of multiple cloud services. You can monitor hCaptcha and all the services that impact your business. Get a dashboard with the health of all services and status updates. Set up notifications via Slack, Datadog, PagerDuty, and more, when a service you monitor has issues or when maintenances are scheduled.
IsDown and DownDetector help users determine if hCaptcha is having problems. The big difference is that IsDown is a status page aggregator. IsDown monitors a service's official status page to give our customers a more reliable source of information instead of just relying on reports from users. The integration allows us to provide more details about hCaptcha's Outages, like incident title, description, updates, and the parts of the affected service. Additionally, users can create internal status pages and set up notifications for all their third-party services.
IsDown offers an easy way to monitor hCaptcha with maximum flexibility
IsDown monitors hCaptcha for major outages. A major outage is when hCaptcha experiences a critical issue that severely affects one or more services/regions. When hCaptcha marks an incident as a major outage, IsDown updates its internal status, the customer status page and dashboard. Depending on the customer settings, IsDown will also send notifications.
IsDown monitors hCaptcha status page for minor outages. A minor outage is when hCaptcha experiences a small issue affecting a small percentage of its customer's applications. An example is the performance degradation of an application. When a minor outage occurs, IsDown updates its internal status and shares that information on the customer status page. Depending on the customer settings, IsDown will also send notifications.
IsDown collects all information from the outages published in hCaptcha status page to provide the most accurate information. If available, we gather the title, description, time of the outage, status, and outage updates. Another important piece of information is the affected services/regions which we use to filter the notifications that impact your business.
hCaptcha publishes scheduled maintenance events on their status page. IsDown collects all the information for each event and creates a feed that people can follow to ensure they are not surprised by unexpected downtime or problems. We also send the feed in our weekly report, alerting the next maintenances that will take place.
IsDown monitors hCaptcha and all their 4 components that can be affected by an outage. IsDown allows you to filter the notifications and status page alerts based on the components you care about. For example, you can choose which components or regions affect your business and filter out all other outages. This way you avoid alert fatigue in your team.
hCaptcha and other vendors don't always report outages on time. Our crowdsourced status platform helps you stay ahead of outages. Users report issues and outages, sharing details on what problems they are facing. We use that info to provide early signs of outages. This way, even without an official update, you can stay ahead of possible problems.
