A recent spike in API requests from a single IP address (37.27.54.14) has raised concerns among developers about potential abuse of the Too Many Requests client-side feature.
According to available data, the IP address made 10828193054 API requests, exceeding the recommended limit and triggering the abuse detection mechanism. This behavior may indicate an attempt to overload a server or exploit the system’s resources.
API request abuse can have significant consequences for web applications, including increased latency, server crashes, and security vulnerabilities. Developers are advised to monitor their IP addresses closely and implement measures to prevent such incidents, such as rate limiting, IP blocking, and IP tracking tools.
