Cloudflare verification when editing a post

This has happened a few times when trying to edit posts in the "Private Watch Sales" section. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the sub forum, but mostly with the fact that these are really longs posts and for some reason CloudFlare is triggering an "are you human" verification. The verification usually succeeds without any user prompt, but it follows with another error and I have to start over with the edit.

I've had this happen in another sales post when I was giving bracelet dimensions in both cm and inches (ex. 19cm (7.5")). For whatever reason it was showing the same verification. It only saved the post after I removed the parentheses, so it's probably flagging it as risky based on a certain pattern.

Today I was editing this post, trying to add some timegrapher measurements and it can't be saved, no matter what I do. Not sure what the pattern is but no matter what, it should allow me to save the edit after the verification succeeds. This is the text I'm trying to add:
Testing it on a timegrapher app on an Android device, it shows -18s/d and 0.7ms beat error dial up, and -4s/d and 0.6ms beat error dial down, while wound up less than half. I doubt those are terribly accurate, but at least may show a general trend.

Bumping this because it keeps happening and maybe it was missed by the admins. Or maybe it's only happening to me and not worth troubleshooting.

Seems to be certain accounts, but we're not sure why. We just tried changing some security settings to see if it helps.

Happened to me a few times too—usually clears up if I log out and back in, or switch to another browser for editing. Seems kind of random when it triggers.

That’s such an odd situation, cloudflare does help us a lot but it’s hard to diagnose why it incorrectly triggers this

From what I’ve seen, Cloudflare sometimes kicks in more aggressively when a forum gets unusual traffic. A buddy of mine who runs a site said they had to ramp up protections after being hit by a website stresser, which made legit users get more verifications than normal. Probably something similar going on here.
