Outage in Crossref
Degraded performance: Metadata Plus
Resolved MinorIncident Report
We've had a Metadata Plus user sending bursts of very large numbers of queries which is knocking out the REST API Plus pool for a number of minutes at a time throughout the day today. We are working to get in contact with the Plus user in question to correct the behavior, but those large bursts of queries are causing some intermittent instability to the Plus pool. -IF
