Purchasing with Puppeteer fails when running cron job

Currently using the latest image 836bd35be10d

Describe the bug When running the cronjob to purchase a game, the API request fails with error 400 as seen in other other bugs and so falls back on Puppeteer (short). It logs my email, but then does nothing after that. If I restart the docker container with runOnStartup: true, it will get the same 400 response from the API, but this time will create a captcha request email, and complete the purchase through puppeteer one the captcha is filled.

Yes. A captcha is served for every purchase now. That’s just a thing on Epic’s side.

I’ll close this now since it’s kind of two issues at once. Feel free to open a new issue if something else pops up.

I now get a captcha request each day to complete the purchase in the dev branch, assuming that’s the behaviour I should expect?
