So... patience and waiting for it to pass or for more information to come in.

Hey it's the weekend, lots of ways to spend time without worrying about a verification checkbox popping up every couple of reloads :)

It's already good to know that it's a more-than-sitewide issue.

A new case of 'shit happens', until proven worse.

Thanks for being patient.

I went looking for more information and was able to find this: https://www.securityweek.com/cloudflare-users-exposed-to-attacks-launched-from-within-cloudflare-researchers/

Looks like maybe the problem is this recent popularization of a new attack method of generating the DDOS attacks from within cloudflare's trusted network. So cloudflare is having to clamp down to counter this new type of attack, hence all the weird new little authentication stages and whatnot.
