[Bug] Intermittent API Connection Failures: Cloudflare Bot Protection Challenge

Bug Description
I keep getting "Unable to connect to API due to poor internet connection" like every 49 out of 50 attempts to use Claude Code. It's basically unusable out of the blue. I can't think of anything that would have changed to make this start. Claude.ai took a stab at debugging it and is convinced it's something to do with Cloudflare's bot protection challenge and maybe my home network's public IP.
