API calls are very high and we didnt did those calls

Why i have that many api cals? i never did that amount of calls,. even close to that, im very worried cause wanted to start the premium plan but if u got more than 500 requests from my side an im sure we didnt make more than 50 calls then is a big issue as dont know when start to pay how u are calcullating those calls. Its imposible to have 500 calls when i even got developed nothing on my side that make those calls.

Hi, have you downloaded the log and made an analysis?

If you give my your app name I can also ahve a look.

@Sebastian we experienced something similar over a weekend where it looked like someone was doing stress testing on our backend api calls. We took the following checks in place to finally narrow down what was causing those calls

  1. High frequency Health Check (pings) by Load Balancers or DNS health checks e.g. in Route53. Resolution reduce frequency or turn off the health checks during development
  2. Public Docker images having (triggering unintended SQUIDEX API endpoints without auth leading to (images downloaded and being run with API calls to squidex automatically being driven during development phase). Resolution: Keep changing your secrets in the frontend app very often
  3. If you are using GraphQL you are definitely being billed twice at the rate as per the documentation of Squdiex

These were the simple introspections we made to reduce our API calls.
