Something Is Wrong With The API.

I received a CAPTCHA today along with a soft ban last night for the very first time. Something is different and I have reason to believe that PF is no longer as safe as it used to be. I haven't touched my settings, I've actually reduced my movement speed and the things I catch because of all the new spawns and shortly after I received the soft ban.

Edit: After the soft ban was over I received a CAPTCHA literally less than a minute after starting the bot, so either they have new bot detection techniques that do affect PF or they updated their API or something.

I stopped botting after this post knowing something was up. I don't think my account is in jeopardy because I listened to the signs that something wasn't right, but perhaps something as big as soft bans and CAPTCHA could be looked into a little quicker next time so there isn't a two or three day period where everyone that doesn't know how to tell when something is fishy are using an outdated API without knowing it. You do a great job with all of the hard work you've put into PF, and it would be a disaster to have almost the entire PF community banned because of a mistake like this.
 
I received a CAPTCHA, but once I resolved it through PokeFarmer, I never received it again. I also haven't changed my settings and I've been running at the same speed catching as many Pokemon an hour as possible. I also log off or stop the bot from time to time (watching my location), then I login with the actual Pokemon Go app and play a little, that way I don't get soft bans; has worked out perfectly for me.
 
I received one days ago before the update and I've been fine running all day every day no issues
 
You're being ridiculous now. Please take the time to read the post before asking for a log file that isn't even relevant any longer since the API for PokeFarmer was updated recently anyway, CAPTCHA don't even show up in the logs, and my suggestion doesn't require any use of a log file.
