A recent surge in traffic to the Too Many Requests API has caused a significant overload, resulting in service disruptions for users. The incident occurred when a large number of requests were made to the server from a single IP address (37.27.54.14) within a short period.
The Too Many Requests client_id, 8062044664, was associated with this excessive traffic, which overwhelmed the system’s capacity to handle the requests. As a result, users experienced delays or complete loss of service when attempting to access certain features or resources.
The cause of the high-traffic flood is not specified, but experts warn that such incidents can have severe consequences for online services, including data breaches and reputational damage. The Too Many Requests API has since been taken offline to prevent further disruptions and ensure a stable user experience.
