Thank you so so so much , it’s henna giving me a headache. Happens every couple months, unfortunately I can’t see the access logs from that far back (only traffic, which has the same insane increase in traffic corresponding with the cpu usage problem). I’ll try blocking that and see what happens . Thank you again ????????

Thank you so much for your reply, I hope this paste isn’t excessive. But it also shows the frequency of these requests, which I think might be relevant ..
