An internal process initiated from our centralized billing system appears to be responsible for rendering our UK data center largely unreachable between 11:04 UTC and 11:06 UTC.
Our internal billing-related API was invoked at such a rate that our web servers were starved of resources for handling further requests.
We will be reviewing this process and others like it to avoid such things happening in future.

Investigating
Our UK data center appeared to be briefly unavailable. It has recovered and we are investigating what happened.
