Hi Jeff!

I conferred with the bundler folks about this issue and **they told me it was a known issue with older versions of bundler. If your users update their bundler version, the issue should go away.**

The errors are actually fastly throttling individual users, which as you might expect means that those versions of bundler are sending A LOT of requests.
