I sent them a bug yesterday where I was being blocked for "Too Many Requests" regarding an endpoint I wasn't actually using (they thought I was attempting to submit URLs using the "Save Page Now" feature), so they've been having issues across the board.<p>This is good though, as they're now hopefully aware of some previously unknown deficiencies.<p>Best of luck to the Archive team to get things up and running again with minimal stress!
