Update timeline

  1. investigating Feb 01, 2024, 10:16 AM UTC

    We are currently investigating the issue. Traffic against the plugin portal has increased heavily this week, with a serious uptake in traffic from user agents identifying as Renovate and some specific source IPs having increased traffic from nearly nothing to multiple millions requests an hour. We have enforced rate limiting for the worst offender.

    A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results.

  3. resolved Feb 01, 2024, 04:41 PM UTC

    This incident has been resolved. We will continue to monitor the system in the coming days.
