On April 19th, 2022, at 02:30 Coordinated Universal Time, we observed degraded performance in our login platform ( login.linode.com ). Our teams identified the root cause to be related to our rate-limiting rules, which resulted in dropped communications for legitimate traffic.
We have taken measures to enhance the existing rate limiting logic; and have implemented additional controls to prevent similar disruptions going forward.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
