Let me tell you how RECAPTCHA validation works in Magento, RECAPTCHA is loaded on client browser, human user is confirmed & when RECAPTCHA check is successfully completed on browser end, it sets a flag field in form and this flag field is checked on server for RECAPTCHA validation.

It seems in your case the RECAPTCHA is not completely loaded on client browser hence no flag is set but the server validation is expecting for RECAPTCHA field. So it throws the error.

Possible reason for RECAPTCHA not getting loaded on client browser could be

  1. Some JS is restricting RECAPTCHA from getting loaded.
  2. CORS policy - This happens when user is browsing your website with http but the RECAPTCHA url is with https or vice versa.

In my case it was 2nd option.

Hope it helps. Thanks
