Description

Steps to reproduce:

Step 1: User click to open SignUp Components
Step 2: Add email and password, then click confirm button.

Expected behavior:

Expected to send code to email, then User input the code and verified to sign up successfully.

Actual behavior:

When clicked the confirm button, it kept loading till user closed the window.

I think I may meet the same problem like this closed issued due to unable to reproduce it:

https://github.com/clerk/javascript/issues/1616

I saw some discussion lead to "Bot" detection, and chat with gpt5-high also mentioned this.

Thus, I suggest it might caused by Cloudflare bot detection. Cause it is randomly happening with my user, and most of my user visit from China.

I'm going to try to proxy clerk, in order to avoid this annoying problem.

Hope my situation can give your team some clue.

I'm seeing this too with the same set up (clerk + cloudflare worker + user from china). It also seems to happen randomly during refresh. Following to see if there is any better solutions. https://github.com/clerk/javascript/issues/3563 seems this can help rethrow and catch the network error, maybe i can add an auto refresh.
