Rate limited temporary ban

[Anaxagoras]

I've been hit with the "Error 1015 You are being rate limited - The owner of this website has banned you temporarily from accessing this website." Can't reach either the wiki or the forum. I had been editing a couple articles on the wiki and using it more than average, but quite clearly not anything like a DOS or a crawler / web scraper or anything. The error was "resolved" overnight, but came back after loading just a couple pages today; I'm posting this from a phone with another IP. Anything that can be done about this?

We will inform the IT types. I'm sorry you're having difficulty.

This is due to the way Cloudflare is integrated with the site. Are you using a proxy or some other tool that might be hitting the site from your IP a lot? It should only ban you for a couple of minutes at a time, but I can poke the IT people and see what the actual configuration is.

I'm not using a proxy or anything.

But whether something was fixed, or just by waiting about a day, or whatever, it seems to be resolved for now.

Glad to hear it.

Every time it happens to me, I bug the CM’s / IT and they all just shrug their shoulders.    It goes away eventually.
