Hello Codeforces community, Today just after the contest, i am continuously getting a message saying " Recently, your account was used to crawl. Please change your password to prevent your account from being used for unauthorized activities.". I have changed my password but the message is still there even after relogin. Even in the hacking phase I tried to view other's solutions but I am being logged out. Can anyone please help me through this? Tagging MikeMirzayanov just so that the issue is highlighted.

The issue was resolved very fast! Thank you all! ORZ
how was this issue resolved? I am also facing the same issue during hacking phase.
No idea honestly, sorry for the late reply. I actually got crawling alerts again during two contests later on.
2 months...
just for one reply, and a sorry T-T
It got resolved in a day for me. I think if you check a lot of submissions in short span, then you get this issue. Apparently, this is implemented by CF to stop bots from spamming submissions. So, if you wait for some time, it gets fixed.
