After adjusting the Al crawlerprotections, performance significantly improvedagain.It seems like the Al crawlers learned how tosolve the Anubis challenges. Anubis is a toolhosted on our infrastructure that requiresbrowsers to do some heavy computation beforeaccessing Codeberg again. It really saved ustons of nerves over the past months, because itsaved us from manually maintaining blocklists tohaving a working detection for "real browsers"and "Al crawlers".However, we can confirm that at least Huaweinetworks now send the challenge responses andthey actually do seem to take a few seconds toactually compute the answers.
