No, we did some rate limiting to try and fight off some attacks, but now some are too strict. We'll tune these so they won't bother you anymore.

Rate limiting is a measure against dos, but you hit a rate limit before a dos happens, otherwise it's failed to do it's job.

Rate limiting stops a specific 'entity' from accessing a server too many times over a certain time period.

It only blocked you because it identified that you're hitting their servers at a higher threshold rate than server admins are comfortable with.

Probably not. They're getting hit with heavy usage right now so are likely throttling everyone and you just hit that cap.

That show context link doesn't do shit for me. I thought it was just a glitch in the latest update or something. It used to work.
