Why did my scraper just randomly start getting blocked after weeks of working fine.

I genuinely do not understand what happened. Nothing changed on my end same code, same proxy setup, been running clean for over a month and then last week just completely fell apart on two sites.

Tried the obvious stuff new user agents, slower request timing, better headers still getting walled. It's not even throwing captchas it's just returning garbage responses now.

I don't know if my IP pool got burned if those sites updated something or if I'm missing something obvious. kind of at my limit with this one.

Has anyone been through this and actually figured out what it was?

Trying to make my study workflow a bit more efficient instead of constantly switching apps.

I realized most of my study frustration wasn’t actually motivation. It was the constant switching between apps to read pdfs, annotate, organize notes, and review summaries.

Lately I’ve been trying to keep more of that workflow in one place with UPDF. For reading, highlighting, and making notes about the original document, not scattering everything everywhere.

The one thing that surprised me the most is how much easier studying feels with less context switching. I do still use other tools sometimes but reducing my fragmentation made a bigger difference than trying out random productivity hacks.

Anyone else get this with studying/work heavy on the documents?
