Ah, I found it on this status page, overloaded crap showing as green/online :
Lots of I/O abuse recently. Well it's been happening for a while but not to a level that was extremely concerning. This particular one was someone we previously mass suspended who just made new accounts and ordered again.
Many of the rest are people running Docker very specifically on Ubuntu 20 and usually 1GB or less memory.
Tokyo's mainly the usual, one service running like a dozen different applications and having 300+ people accessing it simultaneously. We have alerts set up and I pretty much notice it within 10 minutes of it happening, but in this case I must have not been paying attention. By the time I noticed it was already overloading heavily and I finally just gave up and power cycled it.
We pay a good amount per month for this monitoring service. For the past two months probably, maybe longer, it's been constant set of 502 errors, even on our end. They don't seem to care, support doesn't really answer either. I've been slowly working on making our own monitoring system instead but with everything else it's too much work for it to be completed any time soon.
You'll never guess which company bought them out.
Basically just be prepared to load it 3 times and wait like a minute. This is the same monitoring system that fully went down on Black Friday and I had to do manual deals since black friday flash sale relies on it.

We use it in a very specific way and there's nothing that would fit all our requirements. We have to just make it ourselves. The uptime monitoring portion doesn't matter at all and that's really easy to get done.
We have very specific alerts for the weirdest most specific things that no one would usually want, and this also keeps track of things like network usage per VPS in a useful way, aggregates usage by locations, shows very specific graphs for memory, processor, load. Process list, temperatures, disk health. I already know how to do all of it because I happen to have used the same applications it utilizes in the background directly, and know how to get it done, but it's just definitely a multiple day focusing on it type of project.
I also tend to try to mush projects together when I see any similarities so this means I'm not just working on a replacement for this, but I want to also integrate some of the things we used this for directly into it.
I can finally talk about Phoenix but the story is insanely long so I'm just going to do it this way.
DediPath --> Remove the Dedi and that's where we ended up. Initially = good. They put us under a sub-brand. Until we actually needed to contact them when servers died. While that was happening, something else happened. Miscommunication on their end, we were contacted about a billing issue except the higher-up that we had never spoken to previously decided to just send one email from their other brand/his work email and not the right brand/system. He said some things, we missed it, although he never provided an appropriate timeline. We thought there was an outage, he stepped in aggressively and was more concerned about this new issue he created even though it was their fault and we were immediately cooperating. He kept changing their demands, we immediately agreed (even though we were in the right) and he still managed to drag it out (that was the multiple week outage, they completely refused to do anything without his seal of approval.) We got busy and couldn't get them to complete our requests since all communication dragged out, so a good portion of the delays were our fault at this point. Finally we decided to just pull everything as we did not trust them, and that dragged out as well a few more weeks waiting on them. If PHXZ004 was in Los Angeles it would have returned online within a day (based on my educated guess on what it is, we'll find out in a few days.)
Keep in mind this is a 250~ word summary of the original 4000+ word essay. Any questions or requested elaboration, let me know.

@VirMach
I submitted a suspension appeal in Ticket #619341
I paid the relevant fees as required, but because I did not receive the email notification, my server was suspended again (only 5 hours later)
I am not sure what happened to the server that caused the abnormal traffic. I cannot operate it immediately after the server is restored to normal, so please reinstall the system and restore it

If you're in a rush to receive a response, I can provide a rushed response. You won't like the response though. Any time a suspension appeal is taking a long time it means I really know I have to deny the appeal but waiting to see if I can convince myself otherwise.

There are self-hosted APPs for this~
No?
Sounds familiar.

I really liked that block too. I kept it longer than I should, it was technically one of our more expensive ones.
