For the past few weeks I have been trying to get a good grasp in python by solving several DSA question across many platforms and today also I was doing the same...But during my practice on Codeforces when I tried to submit a code while taking help from CHAT-GPT(I don't do this often I only used it because I am learning python and I also asked for some specific syntax , I never copied the question and pasted it on ChatGPT) I got blocked .I was wondering if anyone else also got the same problem as me and what should I do now ??
Please note that during that hour when I was submitting the problem there were no running contest and I was only using chatgpt and other websites like W3Schools for learning the syntax.I never copied from anybody or used AI tools to cheat anywhere.
update : It was a Cloudflare issue. Thanks everyone who helped me.
What exactly do you mean by "blocked"? What message did you see?
I don't know how to attach a picture here but the page says something like

seems like Yet Another Cloudflare Issue
btw it's allowed to use ChatGPT outside contests
This issue came up during 1:00 PM today in IST . and it's still going on can I do anything regarding this ? I have spent so many hours in building this account. I don't wanna lose it now especially when I did not do anything wrong. This is just sad.
