I been combing through the access logs on my control panel and something smells off in the wee hours. Looks like a lone script is hammering pages like a woodpecker with no respect for api limits. Not sure if its a stray crawler or some bored kid running amateur code but the request count is bananas. Havent dealt with this sort of pattern since that time when our backup server almost drank all the juice. If you see your metrics behaving like a runaway train check your firewall settings pronto before it gets worse.
