Got this message 3 times now in 5 minutes, is this happening to anyone else?

I'm having the same problem, so it's definitely a site issue. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. 🤔

Sorry to hear, but glad I didn't kill my comp...yet 😉

I noticed it as well. A couple of times over the last few days. But they only hang around for a couple of minutes, and it's not every page. I bulk open tabs to feed, so for example I might open 100 creatures. I'll feed about 5 fine, get 3 errors, another 6 fine, 2 errors, drift off to another site for 5 minutes, come back and it's all good.
Error notice said it was Eggcave's end, so I assume it an event related incident.

Yes, same here and that's what I thought too...still scary when it happens, I'm on an egg(cave) diet 😉 😃

This is the server telling us that it isn't happy with how many requests it is receiving in a short period of time. When this happens, just take a small break, a few minutes should be suffice, and everything should be fine.

This will happen often with events but it is not long lasting.

Thanks for letting us know, so happy is not that serious ❤️

Thanks for confirming what I thought was the issue and that I was treating it the right way.

This has been happening without events being active, though. Not as frequently, and I agree that it's an issue that kind of resolves itself given time, but if it's a known issue... Are the staff working toward server improvements (if possible?) to reduce the issue and the downtime users have to deal with? Especially when progress in dailies and/or events may be impacted by the (temporary, but still frustrating) delays?
