What is the issue you’re encountering
We had an increase in traffic to our site, which increased our CPU usage over the limit. Investigating further, we found via Cloudflare that /wp-json/wpdiscuz/v1/update was getting pinged by the thousands from many different IPs.
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?
We use the wpDiscuz plugin and it was possibly being targeted, so I disabled the live comment bubble entirely and cleared the cache but the requests kept coming. I then enabled the “I am under Attack” function via Cloudflare and it started mitigating all of those requests. I then deactivated the wpDiscuz plugin and the requests are still coming in. This brought our CPU usage back to normal. Is this an attack? If so, how would this get resolved?
Was the site working with SSL prior to adding it to Cloudflare?
Yes
What is the current SSL/TLS setting?
Full (strict)
