## Updates from crates.io
### 2026-06-14 01:20 UTC: investigating
crates.io responses are unusually slow due to database issues, with occasional 500s due to database timeouts. We are investigating.

### 2026-06-14 01:37 UTC: identified
The read-only replica database used for many of our common queries is under heavy load. We are evaluating options to deal with this.

### 2026-06-14 01:53 UTC: resolved
The primary source of the load appears to have been a scraper abusing our API. We have blocked the scraper and the replica database has returned to its normal heavily loaded state instead of being overloaded.
