508 Resource Limit Is Reached

#1 Post by Garry »

I know nobody cares about the web site and its many issues, but I thought I should report this one so that it can be duly ignored:
508 Resource Limit Is Reached

The website is temporarily unable to service your request as it is exceeding its resource limits. Please try again later.
If you are the owner of the website:

Most likely the maximum number of concurrent PHP-threads for your website has been reached. This can happen if the website is under heavy load and is not optimized for it.

Review the request logs.
Check your website resource usage (DISK-SPACE / CPU / RAM / IO).
Restart or investigate all running PHP-threads on your website.
Optimize your code execution.
Upgrade to a package with more resources.

You can find a full overview of your resource usage in your Controlpanel.

Over the past few months I've seen several sites reporting resource limit errors. So it's not specific to us. When I asked on another site I was told that it's due to an increase in traffic, but what's causing that increase I do not know.

I think this is a very unfair and cynical statement.

LLM bots. They are destroying the internet. Not an exaggeration.

Currently showing as over 1,200 "logged in" to the site/forum as I write this. No wonder so many sites have to use Cloudflare etc.
