WolfieBot - Temporary Shut Down

infinitempg

Hi all. Unfortunately I will have to temporarily shut down WolfieBot and WolfieBot Dashboards as the Amazon S3 instance has mysteriously started charging me significantly more than expected over the last few months:

While normally it costs me about $2/mo to host files on S3, it has ballooned up over the last few months to over $20 and is currently projected to exceed $30 for the month of April. This is specifically due to the TimedStorage-ByteHrs charge on the server, something that I am too lazy to figure out not sure the root cause of. Combining this with the about $15/mo cost of running the bot and webserver on Heroku, it just becomes too expensive to run.

I am thankful to all the users who kindly donate money to keep WolfieBot running, but I cannot in good conscience ask for money to cover this cost when it's clearly something on my end that has screwed it up.

I am hoping to figure out what is wrong within the upcoming week or two so that I can restore access to WolfieBot for everyone. In the meantime, the Discord Bot and historical dashboards will be down for an unspecified amount of time. I apologize for the inconvenience and hope that it is truly a temporary and short shutdown. The shutdown will begin later this afternoon or evening.

EDIT

I think I figured it out? So not shutting down today but possibly tomorrow night depending on what happens.
