This is starting to get really annoying.
This helped reduce the load and more or less stabilize the situation.
Without the restriction, the forum becomes easy prey for DDoS attacks and bots, and in all likelihood, then all users would receive no response from the server at all, or would get a different error message instead.
Nevertheless, after your message, I increased the limit threefold — now it's 60 pages per minute (which is quite a lot for a human user). If that isn't enough, let me know, I can set it even higher, but the higher the limit, the more vulnerable the forum becomes overall.
Lately, besides open bots that don't hide their purpose and identify themselves as bots, a large number of "guests" have appeared who identify themselves as regular users — yesterday there were about 4500-5000 guests.
Today there are twice fewer, but still. At the same time, based on address geolocation, most of the guests are from Brazil and Vietnam, which makes it highly questionable whether these are people rather than bots disguised as humans.

...that's why a limit of 20 pages per minute per IP address was introduced.
Okay, I understand.

I don't think it even reached 20 pages, and it started happening repeatedly, less than 20 pages later, when I decided to write about it.
Okay, I understand.
The problem was likely due to attachments, as they also count as separate forum pages, and the limit works on a queue principle: N pages within a minute, and it doesn't reset to 0 every minute.
I've added a new limit for authorized users to eliminate the issue with attachments.
Now, the general rules look like this.
| User Group | Request Limit per Minute (forum pages or attachments) |
| Guests | 60 |
| Authorized Users | 600 |
| Allowed Bots (search engines) | 30 |
| Banned Bots | 0 |

Mobile internet, Beeline operator, Redmi 9, Firefox. Every other time it fails to load, showing the standard "Connection timed out" message. About once an hour it finally loads after a bunch of page refreshes.
In our region mobile internet is being jammed, but I specifically check — when HeroesWorld goes down, other sites and messengers work fine at that time.

I checked on several platforms.

It very well might be – home internet tends to be much more stable. Okay, if it’s a problem on my end, then it’s my problem; thanks for the feedback.

1) Is this message displayed when the account is authorized on the forum or during anonymous access?

When logged in.
As far as I can tell, this message usually appears after the main forum page has loaded and I try to access a topic or the control panel.
This message, in any case, could only have come from the bot blocking system.
I've added another additional check to this system so that as soon as it detects that the user is logged in, it stops working.
I believe this message should now stop appearing under the same conditions.
But if you encounter it again, please write, describing the sequence of actions, and we will figure out what is wrong with it.

Right now, I'm using Beeline and MTS, and the forum loads to this extent, both on my computer and phone (Moscow). Nothing below the section for the sixth game loads. The problem is obviously with the providers; everything works fine on my home Wi-Fi.
I suspect that many of the problems reported in this thread are related to local restrictions or their direct consequences in different countries.

I currently have Beeline and MTS, both on computer and phone, and the forum loads exactly this much (Moscow). Nothing below the sixth section — no luck. The issue is clearly with the providers; on home Wi-Fi everything works fine.

Google PageSpeed loaded the page fully in 3.9 seconds.
The full-size desktop version loaded even faster per PageSpeed, in 1.4 seconds.

Tula.
It usually loads well from my home Wi-Fi, but there are occasional interruptions. It doesn't load at all from work; I tried with a computer, a phone, and different browsers. A VPN doesn't help; even when it disconnects from my home Wi-Fi, it still doesn't help.
One interesting error is PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR, which indicates that the connection was reset by the server. Yesterday, I did a traceroute from home and identified routing problems. Tomorrow, I'll try to ping from my work computer as well.
Could it be that, along with spammy IP addresses, some useful ones were also blocked?
