The exception itself says that the selector is incorrect. Try to use absolute xpath while selecting the iFrame. Absolute xpath for captcha iframe always works for me.

Also it woulbe be great if you can share your automation code

it still doesn't work. You need to iterate throught pags to get this captcha. I will try to add the code, but I think only way is to define coordinates – Aleksandar Ciric Dec 09 '19 at 14:43
Can you share any video to show the exact behavior? It would be easier if you can share a link of your page. Also do try with coordinates if you fill it will help. – Dish Dec 10 '19 at 09:00
