Ahrefs just changed their user detection – group buys getting flagged faster now?

Not sure if it’s just me, but something feels different in the last couple of weeks.


I’ve been seeing more accounts getting logged out randomly. Some are getting hit with verification checks almost every session. A few people in private chats said their shared access stopped working completely. Before, it would last months. Now it feels like days.


The pattern I’m noticing is tighter session control. IP changes seem to trigger flags much faster. Even normal switching between home and mobile data causes issues. It looks like they’re tracking behavior more closely, not just login details.


What’s interesting is that single-user accounts don’t seem affected the same way. It’s mostly shared setups that are struggling. Makes me think they updated how they detect simultaneous usage or unusual activity patterns.


From an SEO perspective, this matters. A lot of small operators rely on shared access because full subscriptions are expensive. If detection is getting stricter, that changes the math for many people doing client work or niche sites.


I’m not saying this is confirmed. Just sharing what I’m seeing around me. Could be coincidence. Could be a quiet system update.


Has anyone else noticed more frequent lockouts or verification prompts lately, or is this just temporary tightening?
 
The one i am using gets hit by cloudflare captcha. Then it stops working hours. its been like that for last 30 days. Is this a new issue?
 
Their charge is way much than SEMrush and there are credit systems. I dont think there is any reason to be such strick on multi user.

I see that they will loose their appeal very soon.
