Hello @bebeo92,
Do you use VPN, adBlockers or blocking software/hardware in your network (piHole for example)?
If so, try to disable them or try a different browser (i.e. mobile one), you may also try to use a mobile internet.
You may also send me your public IP in a private message or on our support portal and we can whitelist it.
You can get your IP there: https://www.whatismypublicip.com/ or Open Port Check Tool - Test Port Forwarding on Your Router

I am also having this issue with Proton VPN. Could you please explain why I am unable to log in using a VPN?
Many scammers and bots uses Proton VPN, so likely our captcha provider have blocked most of their IPs.
If you want to use a web UI, you need to disable this VPN. The alternative is to configure tools like Cyberduck, Filezilla, uplink CLI, rclone, etc. and use them to upload and download your objects.

I experience the same kind of issue, and I highly doubt it would be a global issue as other websites which implement hcaptcha have never returned the error 429, which I guess is why the OP reported it as the issue specific to storj.io to begin with (If the issue were global, the OP should have experienced it already on other websites).

Hello @Andisers,
Welcome back!
Please try to disable a VPN and check again.
Because I’m getting a different response
$ curl -X XHRPOST -v https://api.hcaptcha.com/getcaptcha/8335889c-3627-444f-acb2-07fa268e52fb
...
< HTTP/2 501 (not implemented)
but
$ curl -X POST -v https://api.hcaptcha.com/getcaptcha/8335889c-3627-444f-acb2-07fa268e52fb
...
< HTTP/2 403

Hello, the issue is still there. I just got HCaptcha is required today. I didn’t use any VPN. I was able to get in by using a VPN.
Hello @huynhtrankhanh,
Welcome to the forum!
It depends on your IP mostly. So, if you can login using a VPN, then your real IP is blocked either by your ISP or by our Captcha provider.
There is no easy solution.
Please use tools instead of the browser to access your data:
