Another positive thing: they did attribution right :) But using the OpenStreetMap.org tiles for a big production website is not right. They are financed by the community for mostly internal use. Larger websites using them run the risk of being blocked. Maybe the site hit some rate limitations, or maybe it was just a bad day. The Belgian tile server can handle quite a bit of server load, but also come without guarantees. You could get in touch with Jonathan from geo-6, to analyse if our server can handle the load. My guess is it probably would! Of course, if you want real guarantees, you should go with a commercial solution or host tiles yourself (see for example https://switch2osm.org/providers/).
