Edits taking too long or not at all
posted by night.owlSTAFFMOD on September 18, 2024 at 7:09 PM
The past couple days I've noticed that edits are taking too long to post or they don't post it all and get timed out. Once I edit, there is a "thinking circle" while it waits to upload. This seems to take a minute or two and today, it doesn't seem to be uploading at all. A few edits seem to time out but then I check a bit later and they finally uploaded. Some haven't uploaded at all. This has never happened before.

Same here. Some edits are fine, but some take forever. Uploading images also stalls after the image is uploaded (the progress indicator doesn't change from blue to green).
UPD it gets worse with the images. Now every other upload ends with a "failed to upload" message, but the image is actually uploaded and visible after reloading the page.

I see that we had an increase in response time on the 14th, 17th and 18th.
More than double the normal time.

But it kept working.
Probably some DDoS.
For images it was on the 14th, 16th and 17th.

This continues to be the issue, and it's quite annoying tbh. While adding guest stars to the episode, literally every other one hangs with the spinning circle forever, so it needs to be canceled and re-added again, essentially doubling the amount of time needed. Anything could be done about that?

There's two things that I think are related to this. I pushed some updates last night that should help one of the two. The second one will require a bit more work that I don't have time to get to until next week.
Has it been any different/better in the past 12 hours?

Yeah, it looks like it's improving. The image upload feels more reliable.
