Every now and then, I run into this that prevents gallery-dl from doing anything on Exhentai.

[exhentai][warning] Cloudflare challenge
[exhentai][error] HttpError: '403 Forbidden' for 'https://exhentai.org'

You could try setting the Cloudflare cookie inside your config, e.g.

            "cookies": {

                "cf_clearance": "<cookie value here>"

            }

@Hrxn How long will cf_clearance last for?

According to https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/tools/challenge-passage/#customize-the-challenge-passage, 30 minutes by default. It (seemingly) can be changed to any arbitrary value, but 15 to 45 minutes is recommended.
