    We are currently investigating this issue.

  2. investigating May 20, 2026, 08:57 AM UTC

    We had a large spike in traffic, which caused brief saturation of our Redis instance and database. We then identified a hole in our rate limiting (which has now been patched). A blog post will follow. Thank you for your patience!
