Hey all, I’m a volunteer admin with this forum and they have been seeing a lot of 429 errors, dropped emails, and other issues. I noticed sidekiq needs to have memory increased beyond 500mb and it also seems that the email server has run out of space in queue. Unsure of what other issues there are since I do not have access to the underlying server, but hoping others can offer suggestions. Thanks!

Sounds like the server needs to be upgraded and some settings in the yml files changed. You can’t do that from within discourse.
