508 Resource Limit Reached

[Galadriel55]

Yesterday (approx. 10h ago for timestamp) it was absolutely horrible. I was not able to enter the site at all. Tried several times over the course of that hour, each time even 20+ refreshes got me nowhere. Thus, no idea how many guests we had, but it did not beat our current record of 8.6K from June 5.

This morning - down to 3K and smooth as butter.

I've been getting:

Resource Limit Is Reached

The website is temporarily unable to service your request as it exceeded resource limit. Please try again later.

On and off for at least a year, perhaps more. It seems to be an intermittent occurrence. Today was particularly nasty, and I had to refresh numerous times. Which is egregious to me, for as many of you know I utterly lack patience.

Since my last post I haven't seen any major issues. Numbers have mostly stayed at 3K. A couple times, like just now, I would need a single refresh - that's when the numbers go into 4K.

So far, actually quite accurately in keeping with Hui's estimate of 6K being the critical number. Though when the site is really inaccessible, can't see what the numbers are.

On a different note... The tidal wave seems to have passed for now at least. So long as it remains a temporary and infrequent occurrence... Would be interesting to know what's behind the influx.

It seems to be back to every other click for me.

For the longest time now guests have been at 3-4K and I have had minimal instances of errors. Then today I had to refresh several times with most clicks, and lo and behold we are over 6K.

I doubted at first, but I am forced to conclude after careful observation that Hui's proposed 6K threshold is indeed very accurate.

Dunno how to prevent it - but at least it seems to be a very temporary thing as the guests ebb and flow on their own accord.
