This is good news for multi-botters and people that play on the same connection as their siblings, friends, coworkers, and so on. The time between captcha appearances is now based on your IP address instead of which bot you're using. In other words, any individual connection will only have to complete a captcha every 15-25 minutes regardless of how many bots you use.

shoyuken made a good point on IRC that if you're on multiple bots at the same time and get to the point where you need to complete a captcha, but then click through to the next page on all the bots, you'll still be stuck on the captcha page for all the bots. I'll let this update soak for a day or two and see if this ends up being a common complaint. If it is, I guess I could do something like background poll via ajax on the captcha page to see if you've completed it on another tab.

Awesome Ender! I guess people will learn to not click other pages if a CAPTCHA shows up...

Quick fix for anyone that has two captchas up at once - just fill in one, submit it, then F5 the other window.

When this works 100% for everyone, I gotta say, this will probably be the best innovation in bots history.

Can anyone else try if you get stuck in captcha loop while you are using VPN? After I disconnected VPN, captchas started working properly. Only sad/bad thing is that I need VPN to do work stuff :(

If you solve one. Just refresh the page on the other ones.

Ah, the flip side of this that I hadn't considered is that if your IP constantly changes, you'll have to constantly complete captchas. I'll change the logic from:

Show captcha if this IP hasn't done one in X minutes

To:

Show captcha if this IP or bot id hasn't done one in X minutes

I won't be able to get to this until tonight at the earliest. Sorry for the inconvenience.
