## Timeline of updates

- **resolved** 2016-08-15 22:52 UTC: Starting at 22:06 UTC our monitoring started reporting increased 503 and timeout rate originating from the website. We detected what we think was an accidental mis-use of an endpoint that was creating extraordinary load. We have blocked the IP responsible and are contacting the user involved. This was resolved at 23:15 UTC.
