Today I logged into my forum, opened the new posts in new tabs, and got this message:

I'd expect this from a rinky-dink self-hosted server, but not from Invision Cloud.

• Is there a place in the ACP to see how often this is happening and to whom? If this is happening to my users, I need to know.

• Is it possible to expect administrators and/or moderators from rate-limiting?

• For how long am I banned from my own forum?

I've been doing it this way on my forum for the last 22 years, and it's never happened before.

Have you implemented a rate limit? Because that error is thrown by Cloudflare when the website owner has implemented a rate limit for requests and there is a violation of that rate limit

Please could you PM me your IP address?

Actually, please could you try it again now?

This seems to be an ongoing thing on another forum I know is using cloud also

We have reported it. We are told it is down to people using VPNs with common IP addresses or 3rd party readers.

It's a little strange as it only started happening recently in the past 2-3 weeks. we have ~20k members and range between 200-600 active at any one time

Seems to work OK now.

FWIW, I was not on a VPN at the time.

Let us know if you have any further issues
