From what I gather from the Engineers looking into some issues, there appears to be a large number of download requests which may be streaming requests. The cause isn’t clear to me right now. It could be a bunch of simulataneous requests coming in at once, or it could be a bunch of backed up requeats being released at once.
What I can tell you is that there is all hands on deck working to triage the situation and are working on solutions. At some point when we have more information we’ll inform the SNO’s with further details. It is rather fluid at the moment.
