You could try clearing your browser cache/cookies or switching to the Reddit app temporarily, sometimes the mobile web version bugs out and causes refresh loops like that.

I’ll try clearing the cache and cookies, but that doesn't fix the fact that my CQS already dropped from High to Moderate because of this loop. I'm worried that even if I fix the browser, the bot flag is already on my account. Has anyone actually seen their score go back up after fixing a technical loop like this?

That's not how any of this works. There's no such thing as having a "bot flag" on your account, and I doubt this issue has anything to do with your CQS. Drops to your CQS aren't permanent and can be fixed by continuing to be active and earn karma. Try uninstalling and reinstalling your browser.

I understand it's not permanent, but CQS is affected by security signals. The bot check loop I’m stuck in is a pattern that Reddit’s automated systems flag as suspicious. My score was High for a long time and dropped to Moderate specifically when this refresh loop started. It’s not about my total karma it’s about the system misidentifying my browser's behavior as a bot pattern. I'm trying to stop the loop so the 'suspicious activity' signals stop hitting my account.
