ENVATO ELEMENTS : PLEASE DISABLE RE-CAPTCHAS It's hurting your creators!!

:wave: Hi @slove892, Iโ€™m the engineering manager responsible for Envato Elements.

Thank you for flagging this problem. :bowing_man:

We spent some time yesterday investigating what was happening. We discovered that we had accidentally introduced a bug that caused captchas to appear for all users, not just the ones breaching the Fair Use Policy.

We shipped a fix for this, and download behaviour should be back to normal. :tada:

Thanks for your patience, and apologies for the disruption.

P.S. for the folks interested in the technical details, hereโ€™s a graph showing captcha behaviour over the last 72 hours:
