Continuing the discussion from [Avatars.discourse.org returning Server 500 error](https://meta.discourse.org/t/avatars-discourse-org-returning-server-500-error/43680/2):

Now we’re getting a server 502 error at Stonehearth. Also server 504.

Yeah, we had to rebuild the avatar cache, and the CDN has been a little unhappy about the massive volume of requests. It’ll stabilise over the next little while.

Edited to add (1 hour later): it looks like the cache is pretty well fully populated now, the load on the backend servers appears to have settled down now.
