I keep getting a 503 error

[thejaytiesto]

I have noticed recently I get this error sometimes when I click in threads and so on:

Too fast / overloaded (503)

Most likely, you are accessing the forum too quickly. You are only allowed to access at a rate of one pageload per second on average (somewhat higher bursts).

It is also possible that the server is overloaded or temporarily down.

503 via master1

Can you find why this is happening? Sometimes I lose my posts because when I click post I get that screen.

The answer is right there in the message: Accessing to quickly or server overload. Server overload can be caused by DDoS, or just because there's too many people trying to connect at the same time.

It exactly means what It says , either you are accessing the forums too fast or server is overloaded with requests (could be a DDOS attakc). As for your lost posts , you should be able to find them at the drafts : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=drafts

Wow, I was not aware of the drafts section, thanks, this will be handful so I don't have to keep rewritting what I exactly wanted to say, or copy-pasting every comment before pressing "post" because im paranoid that it's going to be lost.

As far as "you are accessing the forums too fast".. what does that even mean? im browsing as usual, so this should be another DDos of sorts.

I was looking for this before and never find it. where you can see this button in my messages or this is direct link to see the drafts?
I don't see any button from my messages or in the top.. so that if i forgot and delete this link i can see this link because sometimes i am halving error when posting.. and needs to reload to create a new post again..

Something like refreshing the page too much but I don't you did that so as I said It's likely a ddos attack.

It's not available anywhere on our profiles (at least not as far as I know) , I bookmarked it from theymos announcement back in 2014 : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=511677.0
