Not necessarily. hCaptcha is not very reliable in my experience. Sometimes it wants you to select multiple pictures but only shows one that matches the prompt. Or or gives you multiple matching images but still says you're wrong. Sometimes it tells you you passed but then doesn't bother setting the token correctly so you have to do it again. Of course all of these can combine until you solve variations of the same damn captcha thirty times in a row.

hCaptcha is such a horrible buggy mess that my base assumption is that I'll get trapped in an infinite loop anytime I see it.
