Hi all,
I posted ( Particle cloud registration issues? Stuck on rapid Cyan blink (0.6.0/RC2) ) about my rapid cyan blinking and Ric kindly asked me if I’d seen the 1-2 red blinks (which I have).
It seems like a primitive rate limit on the cloud, or as @zachary alluded to, a load balancing decision to a server that is swamped. I have 15 perfectly setup particles on the table next to me, I can pick one at random and it will be 50/50 if it connects, generally if i turn that particle off and wait ~3 mins it has a 70/30 chance of working second time.
Perhaps a sticky load balancer to a server that’s run out of session space or incoming request rate is too high for the apache/nginx/whatever you chose?
Either way, I’m glad to find out that its an observed issue, a) I’m not going crazy b) I can start telling my customers its not them, its something being worked on.
Ok, time to go back to packing Smartfires for my customers and cooking brisket!
