We’ll give the upgrade new try tomorrow. I’ve had some good input from admins of other instances, which are also gonna help troubleshoot during/after the upgrade.

Also there are newer RC versions with fixed issues.

Be aware that might we need to rollback again, posts posted between the upgrade and the rollback will be lost.

We see a huge rise in new user signups (duh… it’s July 1st) which also stresses the server. Let’s hope the improvements in 0.18.1 will also help with that.

    Probably not, but surprisingly some 3P apps still work. I can confirm that Joey for Reddit and Infinity for Reddit are still able to access reddit. Seems like they don’t pull the plug in one go? Or cherry picking the most demanding apps first?

    For context, it’s July 1st 16:27 p.m., GMT+9 where I am.

    There might be less users influx than expected, though we’ll see in the next few hours or days.

      All of the apps will work until the devs pull the plug. Maybe those devs have decided to try to eat the cost and offset with subscriptions or something. I know the Apollo dev said it would cost him twenty million dollars per month to pay the API fees, so hopefully the devs of those other apps don’t go bankrupt overnight.

        I don’t think so, in Apollo’s last update, Christian said

        Looks like Reddit pulled the plug a little early. Apollo started crashing, but I just manually revoked my token and it looks like it fixes the crashing, but no more Reddit access haha.

        that makes me think it’s on reddit side to pull the plug, not devs. Also each client seems to give different error code, Sync for example give out Error 401, while other client (forgot which one) have Error 429 instead.
