    I recently switched to hcaptcha (from recaptcha, because I had so much spam coming through recaptcha. Mode set is auto.

    Thank you for the report. It is a bug induced by the Ultimate Member plugin. I have added a circumvention in the hCaptcha plugin. The fix is included in 2.2.0, which will be published in a few days.
