We have identified an issue with how our systems are processing requests that involve setting querystring parameters from custom VCL using the querystring API. This is causing an increase to origin for requests that have querystring parameters with an empty value.




We are now developing a fix, and will post a new update once it has been fully implemented and we see signs of recovery.




All other products and services are unaffected by this incident.
