7000 requests in queue, can you just restart it and nulify them?

Those requests probably not authentic and generated by the bot that just spews requests automatically, while eating at your system. Probably 1 person is abusing whole system and prevents anyone else from using it.

It started working now, thanks)
I asked Falcon for possible sollution to this problem and asked it to come up with 10 potential fixes and here is what it suggested.

  1. Implement rate limiting: Set a limit on the number of requests that can be made from a single IP address within a certain time frame. This will prevent one user from overwhelming the system with too many requests.
  2. Implement CAPTCHA: Require users to complete a CAPTCHA before submitting a request. This can help prevent automated bots from making excessive requests.
  3. Use server-side caching: Cache frequently accessed data to reduce the number of database queries needed to process requests. This can help reduce the load on the server and speed up request processing.
  4. Optimize code: Make sure your code is optimized for performance and can handle high volumes of requests without becoming slow or unresponsive.
  5. Implement distributed processing: Distribute incoming requests across multiple servers to spread the load and prevent one server from becoming overwhelmed.
  6. Monitor traffic patterns: Monitor traffic patterns to detect unusual spikes in traffic or suspicious activity.
  7. Limit user access: Limit the number of requests that a single user can make within a certain time frame.
  8. Block abusive IPs: Block IP addresses that are repeatedly making abusive requests.
  9. Provide feedback to users when their requests are delayed or cannot be processed, so they understand why there may be delays or errors.
  10. Implement notification system that checks if the system is working, or is overloaded, and sends automatic notifications to system's operator if the system goes offline or becomes overloaded.
