“Unexpectedly went offline” would be better phrasing as we don’t know at this time how it happened. A later investigation may possibly include discussing the incident with AWS Support.

Your mom

At roughly 17:30 UTC today, the character search cluster was inadvertently taken offline making it impossible to search for player characters and create private contracts to said characters.

The search cluster was put back online at ~18:30, but will need approximately 12 hours to fully repopulate. During that time, players attempting to search for other characters or creating private contracts may face issues. Will update this thread when the search function is completely back online.

Apologies for the inconvenience. Fly safe!

e: Search was fully functional a tad early at ~06:30

If you are experiencing issues with searching for a character in-game, please file a support ticket.

I believe you can make the window smaller by unlocking it in the top right corner, and then shrinking the width down.

could you please file a bugreport while you are having this issue and we’ll take a look! thanks!

Updated it.

Hello, everyone!

Feel free to post any feedback you have in this thread.

We don’t believe it’s intended to be malicious, it’s more than likely an errant third-party dev miscoded something causing it to increase the number of calls. It appears the issue started on Saturday 7 Jan at 18:13 UTC, so if you’re a budding developer that was developing something new around that time, it may be worth checking into!

We aren’t looking to punish the individual responsible for the uptick in requests, but if we do discover the individual that may have accidentally caused the issue, they’re welcome to drop me a message. I can pass that along to the development team to see if we can restore the service before the additional work is put into reinforcing the endpoint.

Hey everyone!

I’ve been advised that this afternoon we’ve temporarily taken down one of the ESI endpoints:

esi-characters/{character_id}/corporationhistory/" is the exact endpoint.

• Routes will return empty lists rather than corporation history once the request cache has expired
• This affects all versions of the endpoint: legacy, dev, latest, v1 and v2

• Before this weekend, the average number of daily requests was around 50k per hour, however, it has been spiking to 3 million per hour.

Similar to the issue we had towards the end of the year with the Market endpoint, it seems that these requests are also coming from AWS, so banning the offending IPs won’t resolve the issue. Until the endpoint can be protected better, it will be taken offline.

As per the Market endpoints post, once I’m advised of any further developers on this I’ll relay them into this thread.
