MODERATORS
It can also happen if google can't obtain/verify an id with their normal means (e.g. ip + browser type/settings + cookies + ...).
I get challenged all the time and I've been on the same static consumer ip, but I go through some precautions to make it more difficult to id me (dump all browser state on restart, disable js except for trusted sources, ad blocker plugin, privacy conscious browser + settings, etc.). I still use a vpn in certain scenarios, but still get captchas either way.
