Re: Anubis check stuck?

Users are experiencing repeated “429 Too Many Requests” errors when accessing various sourceware.org services, including gitweb and cgit. Initially thought to be an Anubis authentication issue, it’s now believed to be caused by a new nginx rate limiter. While authenticated users might bypass this, the current implementation is hindering general access.
