Hey,

I've been having some massive problems with API access to Bricklink for a
few days now. The problem is still ongoing. It is always most frequent at this
actual time of day.

The problem occurs e.g. in Bricksync when the orders are queried by Bricklink.
Again and again the message "failed to connect to server" and then "too
many connection errors, giving up" is displayed.

The problem actually seems to be with Bricklink, as the entire API area directly
on the page does not load either. I have no idea to what extent this is related,
but the Orders Received page also often takes an EXTREMELY long time to load
and this is definitely not due to the internet connection.

It's a bit annoying because the inventory is out of sync for quite a long
time. Does anyone also have such problems or know a solution?

Thank you very much 🙂

I'm also experiencing performance issues since a few days now which might
relate to the same source. The site is really slow, sometimes the page loads
for almost a minute, it's quite difficult to do anything in my store, managing
the inventory, fulfill orders etc.

The problem seems to have just disappeared or been resolved by now. However,
I am afraid that it will be like this again tomorrow at this time because it
has been like this for the last few days. API not working, pages loading slowly
or not at all, no access to the Price Guide, etc.

Could it be that the servers are being pushed to their limits at times? 🤔
