'PokemonDb is confused!' error is appearing intermittently

Question

sometimes appears this error on the site is it server issues

when i scroll down it appears "Bad gateway" so wasn't the server itself that is giving errors?

This is still happening currently. The site will operate as normal for some time, but then this error will start appearing again most times you attempt to load a page. The page reports it as a 502 error.
Took a bunch of attempts to get this comment to submit.

Did it just start tonight? We’ve been having some issues with a DoS (denial of service) attack again. Basically some bot trying to download hundreds of pages per second.

I’ve changed some settings that should keep the b***ards out, but let me know if you keep getting errors. I’ll check again tomorrow... I need sleep now :)

Yep. This thread was posted six hours ago and it was first reported through our Discord six hours ago too.
EDIT: Errors still occurring half an hour later.
