PSA: Gerrit (chromium-review) throttling requests due to high traffic

[Ben Pastene]

Hey everyone,

Gerrit (the service behind code review on https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/) is experiencing higher-than usual traffic. The Gerrit team is responding and has enabled extra traffic-protection measures. You may see this as 429s in requests when uploading or patching, or as extra captchas in the UI. For Googlers, the outage is tracked in omg/98529.

Apologies for the disruption. Hopefully the team can identify the source of the traffic increase, and resolve things promptly. We'll keep everyone posted if things are delayed.
