Hi,

We had an increase in traffic to our site, which increased our CPU usage over the limit.

Investigating further, we found via Cloudflare that `/wp-json/wpdiscuz/v1/update` was getting pinged by the thousands from many different IPs.

So I disabled the live comment bubble entirely and cleared the cache but the requests kept coming. I then enabled the "I am under Attack" function via Cloudflare and it started mitigating all of those requests.

I then deactivated the wpDiscuz plugin and the requests are still coming in.

Is this an attack or is there something I am missing regarding the plugin?

Thanks and regards,

Tug

Hi,

You should deactivate the wpDiscuz Comment Bubble and the Live Update options and check again.

Both options can be found in the Dashboard > wpDiscuz > Settings > Live Commenting and Notifications admin page.

Please properly clear all kinds of caches before checking.
