A technical issue caused a website to become unresponsive, resulting in a ‘429 Too Many Requests’ error message for users attempting to access the site. The problem is likely related to an unexpected surge in traffic, overwhelming the website’s servers.
The cause of the issue is still under investigation, but it appears that the website was not designed to handle such a large volume of requests simultaneously. As a result, the server became saturated, leading to the error message.
Administrators are working to resolve the issue and ensure the website can handle increased traffic in the future. In the meantime, users may experience delays or disruptions when attempting to access the site.
