Code 509

Bandwidth limit exceeded: the hosting account has used its allowance for the period.

In practice

It is a hosting plan problem, not a code problem. Move heavy assets to a CDN and review the plan before the next campaign.

Check what is consuming the bandwidth — uncompressed media and hotlinked images are the usual answer.

Why it matters

The site goes down at exactly the moment traffic is highest, which is usually a campaign or a press hit.

It is entirely predictable from monthly usage, which makes it an avoidable outage.
