WordPress 403 Forbidden caused by Bot fight mode in CloudFlare

One day, when I entered my WordPress admin dashboard, Site Health reported several 403 errors, as shown below.

Then I did a lot of research work, but it didn’t work at all. Finally, I recalled that this domain is managed by CloudFlare. And I tried to disable all settings one by one to test. And I found that Bot fight mode is the root cause.

After I disabled this setting, Site Health said ‘Great job!’.
