Thanks for reporting this. It this seems to be because we've hit our max_questions limit in our database.

Checking our Cloudflare logs, it looks like we've had an enormous increase in number of requests over the last 24 hours (since around 3pm yesterday afternoon), which probably explains that. Last 30 days of traffic;

I have enabled "under attack" mode, perhaps that will reduce the traffic for a while.

Maintenance mode is now disabled; the 500 errors are gone, I will continue monitoring, but leaving "under attack" mode on (so automated processes may struggle with this)

Are you planning to switch off "under attack" mode?

Are you planning to switch off "under attack" mode?

Yes. I am monitoring traffic, and am gradually reducing the levels on Cloudflare over time.

Traffic should be back to normal now. I'm no longer seeing a traffic spike. Thanks for the report @madhancock - please do let me know if there are still any issues.
