Question

What features and functions of Q2A and plugins are updated hourly?

What do you mean?

---

2 minutes before each hour, my site is unavailable. This happens hourly.
I think it may be a function that sends thousands of unnecessary queries to the database and overloads the server.

Answer 1

There is nothing in Q2A that does what you describe.

It could be the result of a plugin. I believe there was a cronjob plugin for Q2A, are you using that?

Do you have any real cronjob a set up on your server?

What about access logs? If you look through them for the times you have problems, maybe you can see a problem. Could be a spambot or something else misconfigured.

Thanks, Scott.

I thought to update the limits to avoid spam.

On my site, it is very often the users reach the limit of posts or votes per hour.

How do I know if a plugin has used cronjob?
I installed plugin Best user per month in one day, but already uninstalled.
