Imo, the way to do this properly is to interface with a cloudflare defeating app like flare-bypasser or FlareSolverr, but both of these are not particularly easy to set up for most people so I'm not sure there is a whole lot of value in doing this, especially when the current set up already mostly works.
I do the cover search and it fails. I can do it again and it will still fail. I go to the log and get the URL. I put it in Firefox and go there. Then I do another cover search and it works. Another cover search after that fails.

So if Firefox goes to the URL that fails and then the plugin runs again, it should work. Firefox is my default browser.

I'd be happy to beta test a new version that does it the way I suggested.
