Has anyone else been getting a lot more errors on sh.itjust.works recently? Could the server be overloaded? (sh.itjust.works)

I've been getting a lot of these messages lately:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

So I decided to look at the network requests in the browser console. After all, what JSON data was it trying and failing to parse?

Well, turns out that it was pretty much always:

Timeout occurred while waiting for a slot to become available

I don't do a lot of backend work, but I suspect that the lack of slots might be referring to the server running out of resources to process all of the ongoing user activity concurrently. Could we be running into scaling issues?

Yea I have an account on both sh.itjust.works and lemm.ee
For the last day or so lemm.ee has been more reliable but otherwise sh.itjust.works was very good too. Ultimately, I feel like this whole thing was meant for having a lot more smaller instances rather than huge ones.
