I have been having an issue with the BC site that I have never had before yet it's been going on for the past couple of hours. I will go to a new page or to submit a message or edit my story and I will get a "service temporarily unavailable" page stating that there is either a maintenance or the server is full. Is it just me or is everybody getting this? it seems to last for 2 or 3 minutes and then lets me back in again.

I got the same message several times earlier this evening.

A real problem
It's being investigated. It appears to be a runaway process that is grabbing a lot of machine cycles and causing our automated reset code to reset the database when the server gets bogged down with a high load.

Daily
I seem to get it daily, or even several times a day. But part of the time I get a CloudFlare error message, a 520 or 522 error with a graphic that indicates a problem between Cloudflare and BC. And I checked all the sites that are hosted on the BC server that I know of and I get the same message.

Server Constipation
I have been seeing this issue for about a week. It seems to occur at high volume times (I think- but which seems to be agreed by Erin).
Of particular note I have found that it occurs for about ten to twenty minutes commencing roughly fifteen minutes after the hour for each of the US time zones. Maybe we have a lot of people just getting home who join the site as soon as they arrive?

It seems to happen
to me when I'm about to post stories. A few times I nearly gave up.
