I guess this is very true. Our quite elaborate Cloudflare Firewall setup combining bot management scores with GeoIP and network information to decide on the action has solve rates below 0.5% on most rules.
The only case where we see up to 3% solved is on rules targeting networks which contain mostly free (as in beer) VPN providers (the new pest of the internet). Those networks sent a lot of malicious and automated traffic with the mixed in 3% of real users.
To put this into numbers of the past 24h:
~ 76 Million requests served
~ 1 Million of those were captchas
~ 0.5 Million were outright blocked
Captchas solved: 1233
