I’ve been trying to fix the CPU issues with the database for weeks now and I felt I had gotten close. I ran these migrations manually and the delete query deleted somewhere around 400k rows. Somehow that I’ve been monitoring the CPU for about an hour now and it seems to be behaving. It would spike when I upvoted anything and stay there a while. I don’t want to jinx it but try out the site and let’s see if it stays responsive.
My deepest apologies for the downtime and the irritating slowness of the instance since you all joined.
No worries don’t feel like you have to keep 99% uptime or anything. I just appreciate that you let us all use your instance.
The thing was that it was unavailable like 50% of the time. Barely usable and irritating.
