Update Things seems to be better but we’re still seeing occasional downtime.
Update2 Things have improved again since Friday (2025-07-25) when we introduced even more targeted and aggressive rate limiting; we had no related alerts until Tuesday (2025-07-29). We are still seeing some impact on the DB which will occasionally be preventing users from editing and accessing the site occasionally but right now our monitoring suggests it’s only happened 3 times this morning.
Update3 We have seen an increased impact on the DB since our last update. We have deployed Anubis to see if that helps the situation. If users experience issues due to this change, please let us know.
