This incident has been resolved.

Amazon has announced that they've fixed the issue, and we are indeed seeing things recover on our side. We will continue monitoring the issue, but for now, all seems well.

We are investigating increased error reports related to site publishing, site duplication, and file uploads - with the most common error being a "please reduce your request rate" message.

So far we have tracked it down to an Amazon S3 outage, and are in contact with the Amazon team to determine how we can resolve this issue. You can also follow along with Amazon S3's status page: https://status.aws.amazon.com/
