508 Resource Limit Reached

...And just as quickly as it came, the flood is gone. Site is perfectly usable, not a single error. Guests are at 4K.

And again, just to illustrate. Guests are over 5K, I've been browsing through the site quite a bit today, and no trouble at all.

I wonder if we should post here with observations to keep track of how much the "guest" numbers correlate to errors and slowness?

Took me a dozen refreshes to get the forum to load; a dozen refreshes to open this thread, and only four refreshes to get a reply box to open. Probably will be several to post.

I check in less and less because there doesn't seem to be a point wasting limited surfing time trying to get in here and doing anything. Glad some people are able to work it.

Wonder if you just always get super unlucky with the high "guest" waves. For me, the bad times come and go, for the most part the forum is still usable. It's sad if for you it's consistently error-ridden.

For the analysts: I logged on a couple more times with 4K and 5K without issues. Right now I had a single error requiring just one refresh, and the guest number is at 5.9K.

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.
