We believe the significant increase in scale combined with updating settings on the Cloudflare CDN for Universeodon has helped to remove bot / spam traffic as well as increase capacity for our genuine users. We will be continuing to monitor over the longer term.

We have continued working overnight to try to come to a resolution for this issue, however have been unable to do so despite significant scaling and testing. Further investigation has to unfortunately be paused until this coming Saturday at which point we will re-investigate. The site has been primarily offline during this time and is likely to continue to be primarily offline during peak times.

We are continuing to see intermittent and significant outages on Universeodon. We're currently trying to pinpoint the root cause, however this is proving challenging.
