I broke it...I don't know what - Too many emails sent
At a glance
A community member accidentally ran an infinite loop that sent 240 emails in 2 seconds, causing their email sender to block them. Their CPU is now running at 100% and they've tried restarting their app with Docker but the issue persists. Other community members suggest rebooting the server or turning it off for 5 minutes before restarting, which seemed to resolve the issue.
I stupidly ran an infinite loop of sending an email with out any checking or preventative methods.
I ended up spamming my self with 240 emails in about 2 seconds.. not geat, obviously got blocked by my email sender. I don't know if the server is still trying to process these but my CPU is now running at 100%, ive never ever got close to this before hand...
I've tried restarting the app with docker compose down and up but it still seems to have an issue... - Has anybody else done something as silly as this and found out what it caused and how to fix it?
