Nitter Instance Status
-
I use your nitter instance from time to time and the last days i got the warning, that the instance has no auth tokens or is rate limited.
Wouldn't it be better, when the status page would show something other than green in such a case? Or is the status page only meant to indicate, the service is reachable over the internet and doesn't say anything about the usability of the service?

Yeah the status page is just checking if the index responds with 200 or at all. I could check specific paths but I cache most of it.
The reason why it behaves like this is because my instances gets hammered with 5 times the usual traffic for almost the last 72 hours.
Looks like legitimate traffic.I would have to add more twitter accounts as the current number always sits limited at 95-98% which gives you the "rate limited" error message. If you refresh a few times you may get through to a valid session.
I will have to monitor this for the next few days. Adding more twitter accounts is very tedious.
Thanks for voicing your concerns!
