Contact form 7 always fails

Ive tried with the latest version of WP and this plugin and in both safari and chrome on a contact 7 form using “enable on all forms” or used the shortcode and I rarely see the captcha and i get the generic CF7 error of “there was an error with a field”. Same error you would get if you didnt fill out a field. Ive have multiple users try it out on different devices and browsers with the same result. It does pass the api test in the admin and shows the captcha there.
