 * The honeypot either don’t work at all, or is blocking everything for no reason,
   with everything detected as spam.
 * ContactForm7 is a truely good plugin. But instead of adding new broken/useless
   features everywhere (AI generated forms ? seriously ?), please juste make sure
   the basics work fine.
 * Honeypot never worked. Adding a simple 2+2 = ? was infinitely more efficient 
   in blocking spam.

 * I hope you are doing Well,
 * Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I’m sorry for the frustration
   you experienced.
 * We recently identified and addressed some issues related to the honeypot and 
   time-check validation logic. As part of this work, we have made several improvements
   in our latest beta version that may resolve the behavior you described.
 * **[Download the latest beta version](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zfxqDHOBaMwCQzcGUa1OVhcw4ojtLY1c/view?usp=sharing)**
 * Could you please install the beta version, set the **Time Check** value to **
   10 seconds**, and test your forms again?
 * Before testing, please make sure to clear all caches, including:
    - Plugin cache
