Encounter builder works fine for me but I will admit I do not test that much at all, as I have rarely ever used it. Have you considered using Avrae in discord for tracking encounters? It's actually better, if you don't mind the format and using commands instead of button clicks. It even tracks temporary changes like mage armour and stuff, and conditions, and just generally better all round.
I am aware how tech works, but while some glitches can be unique to you any persistent issues would more likely be a 'you' thing or some interaction that is intended and not a bug but just an inconvenient necessity - like annoying Sposta when they be speedy. In their case it is because the site uses speed of clicks and navigation as a trigger for defending against bots - this wouldn't be a bug, it affects everyone, and is an intentional and necessary function for site security (and is standard practice in web design to protect from bot-based DoS attacks). To be fair, there's probably not many people fast enough and familiar enough with the site to trigger this, so there's not enough incentive to loosen the timers, increasing risks of bots. Bugs are rarely random - they don't just pick somebody and go "let's annoy just them" - so the fact this is very rare, and inconsistent, means it is less "bad site code" and more likely something on your side, specifically, disagreeing with the site. Genuine site bugs are things very easily replicable and very generic in who gets them (often everybody). Since that it isn't the case, it is more likely a "you" thing. It may be your browser, device, VPN, addon, or such as.
Please note, I am using generalities: "likely" etc. Too much unknown for any real certainty. But I'm just trying to highlight probabilities in case it narrows the search for the cause. Because, in this particularly case, being dismissive and saying "just simply how tec [sic] works" is technically not true.
You may be waiting a fair while on the ticket and they'll probably be unable to help if they cannot replicate it.

Cyb3rM1nd Have been using for about 2 years. Just started happening 2 weeks ago. Already checked VPN, browsers, anti virus, different ip.
I even thought it was Above VTT extension, but after their help we discovered it was the Builder that created it. Since I removed it and tested it on other browsers without it.
Now the issue might be on my end or their end, but whatever it is I need their help to solve it. Since their protection system is what's causing it, no matter how slow I click.
If the "Please Verify you are a human" at least worked, that would be no problem. However no matter how many times I click hold and wait it just resets into a loop. Most frustrating thing ever.
Also if the problem was with me, it is very weird the fact it only happens after I enter their encounter builder. (Which is on BETA btw)
It is that or I will just plain abandon D&D beyond and their subscription.
...the fact this is very rare, and inconsistent, means ...
This has not been established at all. They've introduced a new method of anti-bot protection that they haven't used until recently (and we all know why they're trying it, which is appreciated and let's not lose sight of that), which several people have experienced and posted here. In contrast, two people have come forward and, by the sounds of it, in the past have gone through the process that might trigger it - but it wasn't there in the past. Have you two tried doing it in the last couple of weeks? Given the number of posters...even if you have tried it, I'd say it was more likely that it's intermittent rather than anything else. I use the most recent version of Chrome's very common browser. I have a new phone with the most recent version of Android. I don't use VPNs or anything odd. I don't use add-ons. Just a generic set up. And yes, it can be bad code on the site and most likely is - if it interacts badly with my device, given it's in no way a special case, then it's because the site hasn't been written to interact with it properly. If a program crashes every time it's run on iOS, it's not Apple's fault - it's that of the writer of the program.
It's possible they've fixed it now. Hopefully they have, it's the kind of problem that grabs attention.

If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.
If you had mentioned that it happened every time you went to the encounter builder instead of just saying it happened on DDB web site the problem could have been solved faster. Or at least narrowed down to the real problem.
This just started for me. My gut right now is this may be due to the way T-Mobile's network is setup. Is this still occurring for anyone else? No I don't have any extensions enabled, I'm not using an ad blocker, and I am not blocking cookies. T-Mobile is one of the weirder ISPs that causes issues with NAT for online games too due to their NAT system and IPv6 stuff they do.

T-Mobile is one of the weirder ISPs that causes issues with NAT for online games too due to their NAT system and IPv6 stuff they do.
I have also been experiencing this issue for a few months, and am also on T-Mobile. For the most part, I only get the prompt when I am doing certain things.
Editing homebrew content if I save more than once every few minutes
Very rarely when making changes on a character (only happened a couple times)
Encounter builder if I edit and save an encounter quickly or if I edit and save multiple times in a short period of time (not sure which is actually the cause - could be both)
The encounter builder ones are especially common for me, as sometimes my changes don't save, so I have to edit and save it again. Since I already know what changes I'm making, I can redo them quickly.
And before anyone asks why I'm making edits to encounters enough for this to be a problem, because I know someone is going to, sometimes even a NEW encounter doesn't save the changes for me, so I am left with an unnamed encounter with no monsters, summary, notes or treasure, and the party only loads if I selected the Create Encounter button from the campaign page and not from the Collections dropdown/page.
So I have to edit the encounter to add everything back in and save the changes. Sometimes it takes several tries before it finally saves. Sometimes I get the robot prompt, after which it saves.
For reference, I've had T-Mobile internet for a long time and never had these issues until a few months ago. I have not installed any new software or made any changes to my application or network settings. If SpazJibo's assessment is correct, then the problem seems to stem from something going wrong connection-wise between DnDBeyond and T-Mobile's network due to some update one of them made, not anything us end-users are doing.
However, it could also be caused by updates made to Windows 10, Google Chrome, or various other applications that we were already using that have been changed in some way without any action taken by the end-user, and are now being false-flagged as bot activity by DnDBeyond
Also happens to me but on my computer instead, haven’t been able to touch dnd beyond through my pc since last weekend, it only asks to is if I switch pages on dnd beyond so if I stick to one it won’t ask to verify. But also trying to open dnd beyond on another tab after one looped verify will just open up that verify loop again. Been using my phone to access the forums. I did in fact try switching browsing platforms too which worked for a bit but then didn’t
I have run into this check whenever I'm using the encounter builder. I'm also switching around open tabs with character stats, maps, descriptions, etc. I originally thought extensions like beyond20 was causing this, but it happens even after disabling it. I'm using Starlink and all my players are here connected to the same internet.
I've never had any problems with verification. For various testing purposes I have tried the site on many different devices from PCs, laptops, smartphones (including android and iphone), tablets, and even XBOX One. I have used a variety of operating systems from windows 7, 10, 11 and MacOS (although it was a long time ago and I cannot remember which version), and Linux (Ubuntu). I have tested in various browsers from ie, edge, chrome, chromium, safari, opera, opera gx, firefox, the default one you get on phones, and I have tested using various ISPs from Vodafone, Sky, BT, EE and T-Mobile. Some had dynamic IPs (as in, the IP changed every time) and some had Static. I have tested with an without NordVPN, ExpressVPN, SurfShark and the default one Opera GX has.
And in the 6 years of all this testing: never had a single instance of verification problems.
So, from my perspective this is definitely more to do with you / your device / etc, than it is with D&D Beyond. Or I'm just somehow super amazingly brilliantly lucky or something - which, all things considered in my life right now I really fluffing doubt.
I hope you're right, because that means I can do something about this. I've whitelisted the entire DNDBeyond domain, I have no extensions or ad blockers or VPN, and it still makes me prove I"m human. I don't often get it asking me several times in a row, but still it's annoying.

It's a new issue. I have been on here for years and have never had to deal with this crud. Now its pretty much every time I log on. It a bother to say the least.

Why am I having problems with the sight letting me in? Some new page to verify me as a human, how long do I have to hold press, and hold... 5 minutes and it still won't let me in. Finally, I got in after about the 10th try. This is unacceptable.
I'm not sure if this is accurate, but to me it seems to accur whenever I try to copy a large portion of text. I was making a homebrew weapon that has a blade and bow form. I wanted to copy the description of the blade form so I didn't have to retype everything for the bow form. The moment I copied the text and tried to navigate to a different page, I got the "verify you're human" page. It actually happened twice now with that sequence of events, so I'm pretty sure trying to copy text from a homebrew item makes the website think you are a robot.

Cyb3rM1nd The problem is with D&D beyond Encounter builder.
Everytime I go there no matter the browser I get this issue. Anything else works.
The same bug may happen to me but not to someone else, that's just simply how tec works.
Send them a ticket, still waiting a response.

Cyb3rM1nd They answered it. It seems the issue is in their website. They said the problem would be solved within the weekend.
TheGnome5786 Well, it was just a rant at the beginning xD
Then it turned into "Let's find the issue post."
I am having the exact same problems, all extensions are disabled. It is happening even on incognito mode.
