XF 2.1 Bandwidth Exceeded Error - Site Down. How to fix?

[Hensmon]

Today my site, trancefix.nl, is returning a 509 Bandwidth exceeded error. How would I go about resolving this issue? I cannot log-in to my admin panel, as that also triggers the 509 error. Any help would be massively appreciated, as I have no idea how to get my site back online

Ask your hosting company, xenforo is not the cause, nor responsible for that.

Thanks, makes sense.

You could also look into adding Cloudflare to your website it may help keep some bot and AI tracker traffic down.

Your hosting plan has used up all its allocated bandwidth (you’ll need to contact your hosting provider and ask them to either temporarily lift the limit or upgrade your plan).

I'm honestly surprised your hosting still limits bandwidth — these days, most providers (including us) offer unlimited traffic (we even host a 10 million-post forum and never had to limit the bandwidth). I’d suggest contacting them to lift the cap or consider switching to a host without these restrictions.
