Over the past weeks, we have been having a chronic issue with bots (likely AI bots) scraping content on our website at a rate far exceeding even our regular peak traffic levels. This results in occasional 404 errors when viewing pages on the site. We are working to limit this traffic and have put additional mitigations in place.
