I suspect it's caused by some plugins you installed. Did you give your api key to your plugins? If yes then the plugins might have been crawling large scaled data with it and caused this to happen.

And the classical question, did you leak your account credentials to someone else?

UPD: I got the message too, and it seems that I got it after clicking no more than couple dozens of submissions in a few minutes

    But I don't give my api key to anyone, my account credentials is for myself only. I don't give it to anyone

    I can't know what's happening...

I think you might have clicked on few codeforces resources very frequently, so that the system suspected it as a crawler activity.
