Official best practice / advice for flaky captchas?

[SebastienBolh]

Howdy!

I was wondering if anyone has advice on decreasing flakiness while avoiding unnecessary sleeps. I know from the docs theres built in waiting / sleep logic but sometimes I find that I still have to sb.sleep myself.

Examples:

• The cloudflare turnstyle is clicked and it gets an error, but about 5-10 seconds later the turnstyle resets and attempting to click it again works
• The cloudflare turnstyle checkbox appears after varying lengths of time, so I've been using sb.sleep() or calling sb.uc_gui_click_captcha() multiple times in a row (or both!)

Due to the nature of variance across sites, is it simply a matter of iterating on some simple sleep&click logic until I can get consistent results on a specific site? Is there a more 'built-in' or proven strategy I should be using?

Perhaps I could loop over a uc_gui_click_captcha then find_element on the cloudflare success element. However I don't want to get stuck in an infinite loop or quit too early before the turnstyle is beaten if I put a MAX_ITERATIONS on it.
