Elevated 429 (Too Many Requests) errors on hosted sites
Incident
Report for Vendasta
Resolved
All affected sites are now loading normally, and services have been restored.
Our investigation identified that a bot attack caused WP Cloud to throttle requests. As part of the mitigation, our team enabled an adaptive protection rule, which temporarily impacted some live traffic. Following the mitigation, the attack traffic dropped significantly, and service stability has been restored.
Our systems are now stable, and the websites should be loading normally. We will continue to monitor the environment closely to ensure ongoing stability and performance.
