<p>We are investigating this issue, too many requests is made in one second.</p>
<p>Meanwhile we allocated more memory resources during this time temporarily.</p>
<p><strong>Update 09:43 pm</strong> &#8212; Server has been stabilized. We are still in the midst of finding out what happened.<br />
<strong>Update 12:12 am Sunday</strong> &#8212; It began when one of our servers had an overloaded queue due to a bug introduced in a recent update. This server attempted to resend too quickly to another server which couldn&#8217;t keep up. The whole chain reaction is the reason for our 2 hour service disruption. We are optimizing our load right now.</p>
