After working perfectly for month, we are suddenly getting a "timeout-or-duplicate" error on siteverify requests.  This is happening on all of our sites.  I can verify everything was working until at least 7pm CST yesterday.  Any ideas what might be causing this?

The exact same thing is happening for me as well.  Did you ever find out why this started happening?

    <script type="text/javascript">
      var CaptchaCallback = function() {

          grecaptcha.reset();

Did someone fix it ?

This happens for me too on all of our sites.
I get exactly the same "timeout-or-duplicate" error while testing with PostMan software :

In our case, the problem was solved after fixing access rights to the proxy servers.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for your feedback. We have recently updated the error message, which should better clarify why you are receiving success: false in certain cases.

Please refer to the guide for more information on verification.

Hi we have also had a site running for over a year and suddenly started getting the "timeout-or-duplicate" error being returned by reCAPTCHA. Is this a new thing on reCAPTCHA as behavior of our code is exactly the same as before?

For me was simple. I checked the response json and now i see the success: true was success: True before.

Could you provide any more information. What was it about your proxy settings that was resulting in this issue? We do not use proxies in the traditional sense but we do run our applications within docker containers so there is some port forwarding/ virtualisation going on so I wonder if this could be related?

This error is not included in the documentation. The error is timeout-or-duplicate which is not listed in the guide you have linked us to. What does it mean and why has it suddenly started occurring over the last month?

The same issue occurred to us and it was because we were calling captcha validation twice. See if you have same issue.

I also received the "timeout-or-duplicate" error on my site just after switching to the invisible captcha.

I had just created invisible captcha keys for it, while the visible one's keys still existed.

Since this was a test server of mine, I decided to remove the visible reCaptcha completely from my reCaptcha control panel.

Then the invisible one started working fine.

I hope this helps someone.

You will get timeout-or-duplicate problem if your captcha is validated twice. Save logs in a file in append mode and check if you are validating a Captcha twice.

I have the same problem. My captcha is inside a form that is used for upload a file. If this file is Big, the form spend a lot of time in slow internet connections. So in this case, the time is expired. Is a big pain. My solution was remove recaptcha and use other captcha solution.

I am having this same exact issue. Yesterday all was fine (and for weeks!), today it's not.  I have looked on console, it's not getting submitted twice, although it seems it could be the issue?  Contact form at the bottom of page here: http://www.devilscrawl.com/philadelphia

This is driving me nuts.  Any help would be great. 

Thank you,

Dennis

Create Different recaptcha.js File and load from your html code and paste this code in js:

$(function () {
grecaptcha.ready(function() {
    grecaptcha.execute('Your Site Key', {action: 'homepage'})
        .then(function(token) {
            document.getElementById('g-recaptcha-response').value=token;
        });
});
});
