Web app is down?

Hello,

I have a lot of users reporting that my web app is down today. It's been pretty intermittent, but it's been a bunch of times today. I haven't uploaded anything new or made any changes, and it looks like I'm getting a 502 error from the backend. Is there maintenance today or something?

There is no maintenance. If you are getting 502s, it can be caused by a number of things, so we have a help page to help you identify the cause: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/502BadGateway/#look-for-any-slow-code-that-might-be-timing-out Since it's intermittent, I would suspect slowness first: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/MySiteIsSlow/
