Update timeline
- investigating Jun 14, 2026, 01:20 AM UTC
crates.io responses are unusually slow due to database issues, with occasional 500s due to database timeouts. We are investigating.
- identified Jun 14, 2026, 01:37 AM UTC
The read-only replica database used for many of our common queries is under heavy load. We are evaluating options to deal with this.
- resolved Jun 14, 2026, 01:53 AM UTC
The primary source of the load appears to have been a scraper abusing our API. We have blocked the scraper and the replica database has returned to its normal heavily loaded state instead of being overloaded.
