I also get this sometimes, not even using buster. Once I was not able to access package tracking information, because Google blocked me completely via recaptcha from that.

I actually do a lot of automated queries from my computer.

I like to scrape and save content that may disappear. Just recently one psychology website I liked years ago where I put a lot of effort to comment on, silently deleted all 60k user comments, including 100s I wrote, and started putting old articles behind a paywall. My activity is perfectly legal, as I'm doing all this for my own personal use.

Thankfully I have all the content locally in the database.

Does it mean I should be prevented from accessing third party services that use recaptcha?
