And we are not looking to buy a new version right now.

@ankit11088 I have informed the responsible person regarding the problem. Please accept our apologies for your inconvenience.

@ankit11088 I have received an answer from our hosting team.

We have been experiencing a huge and sudden surge in parasitic traffic since the beginning of May. We expect this increase to continue.
Therefore, we have enabled the Web Application Firewall, and it is quite possible that clients making more than 300 requests in 5 minutes have been blocked.
