Yes seems like this is some sort of IP based blocking that they introduced, since one of my production servers started failing yesterday, then the other server, on a different IP, which was consistantly working, started failing later in the evening.
Any suggestions on who can I contact directly to get this resolved? I filled out the 'whitelisting form' just now, but never had to worry about it in the past as my application is not abusive with rate limits, and not sure if this is the best channel anyway, since its more of an incorrect / misapplied blacklisting issue, it would seem?
