STATUS [final]:
Between roughly 15:00 and 16:00 UTC on 2026-11-09, Forgejo was CPU-starved by automated crawler traffic hitting filtered issue, pull request and file-view pages.
A large share of the requests we could attribute came from Alibaba Cloud address ranges.
We mitigated it by tightening rules and challenges on affected routes and other similar actions.
CPU throttling has since stopped and the service has been stable since.
