We've run out of space for the database! I've found a solution without increasing our costs too much ($5/mo), though the storage will be slower. I don't anticipate it affecting real world performance at this scale.
This was the cause of the outage earlier today. Backups are suspended until tomorrow to keep free space to keep running.
Additionally, the photo server database was corrupted by the free space running out, a backup had to be deployed and so any photos uploaded after 11am November 7th 2023 (US East) will have been lost.
I don't anticipate this taking more than about an hour, follow along at https://status.thelemmy.club
