  * CaptchaValidator should be used together with [[CaptchaAction]].
  *
+ * Note that once CAPTCHA validation succeeds, a new CAPTCHA will be generated automatically. As a result,
+ * CAPTCHA validation should not be used in AJAX validation mode because it may fail the validation
+ * even if a user enters the same code as shown in the CAPTCHA image which is actually different from the latest CAPTCHA code.
