Cloudflare has placed the Fanfiction.net website in under attack mode for denial of service attack. It has been going on long enough that this is probably a semi-permanent (if not permanent) situation, and there is no possible direct workaround for FFF (or most 3rd party scrapers). If you want more information, you can read back over the last 20 pages or so on this board or take a look at this
FAQ item.
If it is only now affecting you, you have been lucky. Based upon how it has affected everyone else, you probably won't be lucky any more.
Your only choice with FFF at this point is to use the browser cache feature as detailed
here, or you will need to use another method like the WebToEpub browser extension (which still works at this time but produces Epubs incompatible with FFF).
