For one of my ISPs (carrier grade nat), I get multiple captchas per hour, and frequently find my IP has been shadow banned. This is exclusively while reading the news and using paid accounts in long term good standing.
If you're getting shadow banned somewhere, it is typically either the site itself or their CDN or bot management providers that is sending you into a challenge loop; hCaptcha doesn't control the behavior in those scenarios.
