Imgur images not rendering because server is rate limited

I did import 120k topics. So that must have fetched a lot of images from imgur.

Right.

I assume it is to cache them locally in case the original disappears?

Unless you turn off the settings that enable this behavior.

But once I do the import on prod I’d like to prevent this

So do the import on another machine and restore the backup to prod. A more complicated solution would be to contrive to have your server retrieve stuff via a proxy server.
