Websites is showing as complete outage

[ltzmax]

Describe the bug

all my sites is showing as Complete outage, while they're not down at all, they're all online. they're not even down, they work completely fine. so this shouldn't show as Complete outage.

As you can see here: https://github.com/maxbooiii/status/commit/d8add87b45dc2b16bda0b0a3d3ace5b7c80087dc, we're getting a HTTP 503 error from these endpoints, so it's marked as down (rightly so). Can you think of why (proxy, robots, etc.) why they respond this way?

Can't seem to be on my end. i've checked cloudflare and my server and all that... i see nothing that causing it 503. since all services are up and running as normal.🤔

I tried out Upptime and all 4 of my sites showed up as totally down. I even completely reinstalled Upptime and it still happened. Made me jump ship.

From my testing it looks like cloudflare "Bot Fight Mode" is blocking the status check bot and presenting a captcha challenge

Is there a workaround for cloudflare Bot Fight Mode except disabling ?

See #785

It's not perfect but it works.

This is definitely very interesting; I don't know if it's practical for us to try and get into Cloudflare's verified bot program, but we do use a custom header. Maybe there's a Cloudflare "Page Rule" we can setup to allow requests with that user-agent?

The bot would need to be controlled to a level that no one could abuse it. If you haven't seen it, here is the form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdqYNuULEypMnp4i5pROSc-uP6x65Xub9svD27mb8JChA_-XA/viewform

Page Rules do not offer a User-Agent field. I'm still looking for alternatives versus just whitelisting an entire ASN. I have seen in server logs people deploy bad bots, sniffers, etc. on Microsoft's hosting.

So far I have tested WAF Rules, Page Rules, and Configuration Rules. None of them work to allow the bot.

I have been testing this too and the only way to allow the bot is by just disabling the bot fighting which is annoying :\
