I was messing around with the TransDim repo and noticed that the PlaceCal.org main site was down due to our AppSignal monitoring. On further investigation the requests being sent by TransDim locally effectivly denial-of-service'd the whole PlaceCal site. I'm not 100% on cause here but it looks like a very likely suspect.
It should not be this easy to take down the whole PlaceCal site and this needs mitigating somehow.
Steps to reproduce
Load up TransDim repo
Set PLACECAL_API=https://placecal.org/api/v1/graphql in .env
