Why not both? Higher base load combined with insufficient internal controls for ratelimiting/load-shedding (as in, they don’t know who to shed) would be explanatory.

If they can't implement something as simple as "decode upstream headers and determine if 429/503" I don't know what to say. Since this has knocked out all customers it indicates they likely don't have anything of this form implemented.

I meant shedding of legitimate base load, not retries. I think we can safely assume they do the latter.
