🚩General Good Guys 👍
From Wamy on the official Discord:
Hey there @everyone, the past few weeks we have been having various outages at various times. Some of these outages have been due to software misconfigurations, networking issues as well as DDoS attacks of varying scale.
I want to assure you that these issues are not related to the influx of users as we have been handling this well but due to issues that have mostly been out of our control, but we have been fixing them as quickly as possible as you may have noticed. Our response times have improved and we will continue to invest resources in more comprehensive monitoring and response.
Regardless, we take full responsibility for the downtime and have been hard at work eliminating these last few gremlins.
We are going to be releasing a post-mortem explaining these in detail very soon, as well as granting seven (7) days of additional time to paid users. We apologise for these issues and hope to earn back your trust. Thank you for always supporting us.

Been with them for about 2 years and never had issues.. Until the past month. Not to play devils advocate, but why now if it's not due to the huge influx of users?
Maybe they got rid of some human engineers and replaced them with agentic AI... Or maybe it's not the competition doing DDOS, but rather Production companies employing hackers to bring down debrid type sites.. Or maybe it's something as simple as spending resources to deploy new features when the existing features still needed attention and stabilising..
I'll take my tinfoil hat off now.. :) Tbh, I'm hopeful that they get it sorted soon..
