According to Cloudflare, the unusual activity was detected and immediately blocked the IP. This action aims to protect the service from potential security threats and abuse.
Cloudflare does not provide further details on the affected IP address or the reasons behind the excessive requests. The company advises users to check their API usage and ensure it complies with its rate limits to avoid similar issues in the future.
