Thanks BradC. We are continuing to monitor it and adjust as necessary. Turns out earlier today we had a doubling of traffic (likely during the time you were attempting your reloads). The request increase looks to be entirely from ClaudeBot (ClaudeBot accounts for more than half or the requests today). We have not yet blocked ClaudeBot, but we may consider that if the pattern continues. (Some googling suggests that ClaudeBot won't honor /robots.txt nor /ai.txt.)It's back. Same as before. Took 20 or so reloads over a couple of minutes.
We will continue to watch and do our best to keep things stable. Thanks again for your patience.
