Brillant idea!

It's the best I can do for a tracker so the reports can be re-checked for reproducability when she's had her med's...

I misread the title as "Meatbag". I assumed it was an insult bot. Seriously disappointed now.

FYI, I just reset redis which reset the job queue, it got into a pathological state due to the flood earlier (its still flooded but with light weight jobs so it matters a lot less)

Bottom line, you may have missed some emails, perf is not going to be spectacular till the bot desists, however stuff should be back to normal.

Apologies for the minor down time, just trying to make sure stuff keeps moving here.

Will keep a close eye on sidekiq to ensure it does not re-enter that state, and hopefully find the root cause for the pathological state it got into.
