I’m getting to the following message when I try to access the main CS page:

 ![Screen Shot 2020-06-26 at 9.12.24 AM](https://d25dflut6m8e53.cloudfront.net/original/2X/1/130f4854229a3bce5810a66dc0ff0ed955743e2e.png)  
I had the same issue last night when I tried to access the page. Is it an issue on my end or is there an issue with the server?

It’s me / the server. The newly increased Strava API limit means _lots_ more data flowing through the system, and it turns out it’s not sized appropriately for the new load.

🤓

I _think_ the database is under-provisioned. I’m seeing very large Disk Queue Depth numbers. It seems to be tied to instances of _lots_ of data creation, which lines up with the fact that over 250k activities have been imported in the last couple days. 😳 😅

I’m unsure if this Disk Queue Depth issue is _only_ tied to the IOPS performance or if the size of the instance itself is playing a role.

Thanks for your patience!

I guess this a sign of success. Over the years have had to continually rethink/rework efficiency of data processing on Power of 10 thepowerof10.info and [runbritainrankings.com](http://runbritainrankings.com) which record everything that happens in UK athletics and running races including parkruns (well when we can). To think I started doing that by hand, moved to a text file, then Excel, Access and eventually to SQL Server.
