Hi All,
Can anyone explain why there was 476,000 updates via the stream last night between 1and 6am?
Normally there are around 1000 in this time period.

Can’t explain why, but here’s a chart showing the increase: Statistics of Companies House Streaming API
Just to add - there seems to be something peculiar about the companies streaming endpoint from around 6pm on the 21st October 2024 as payloads are consistently around the 9MB size.
But things went a bit ‘hay-wire’ for the companies streaming endpoint after 3am on the 22nd October 2024 as the payload sizes were:
364.88 MB => Between 3.07 am and 3.59 am
141.69 MB => Between 4.00am and 4.59 am
After 5.am, things seem to have settled back to ‘normal’.
PS: My stream has it’s daily reset at 3.07 am so the changes may have indeed started at 3.00am.
EDIT: Having checked again, the payload size for the companies streaming endpoint between 3.00 am and 3.07 am on the 22nd October 2024 was 74.35 MB - so the cumulative total for 3 am - 3.59 am is 439.23 MB
Going by the “Published at” date/times in the JSON its between 15:00 and 23:00 yesterday that the numbers are through the roof, 539k yesterday compared to 19k last Monday.
