I've gotten this message twice today.
I'm okay with it... but I've never seen it before in all of my years... :D
"The site is overloaded.
Please try again later."

It’s an intentional redirect message when basically there are too many connections to the site. Once the load comes back down you won’t see it again.
At least that’s the best way I can explain it. |

It is very recent, this message did not come up before. Is the site under frequent denial of service attacks? |

No. Mita is managing the number of connections and when it hits a certain number / percentage of capacity he sets a timeout. Standard error message handling on steroids basically. The number of connections can increase with web scrapers and search bots, etc. |

So does it mean there are more active bots now? Something to do with AI? |

It’s been a gradual increase over the years, and yes probably has some AI driven factors. You’d really need to ask Mita directly if you care for more specifics. |

Excellent, Mita!
I also like some people more than I like bots.
Sometimes, though... the bots win the popularity contest. :D
