We&#39;d love to hear from the Delhivery.com team. Our tile.openstreetmap.org service is run by volunteers and funded by donations. We&#39;ve had to block Delhivery&#39;s app from using our tile service due to the strain it placed on us. We tried reaching out, but were directed to their app not available in our team&#39;s region. Large users: please self-host or use a provider: https://switch2osm.org ⛔ 🌐 🇮🇳 #india

The app was responsible for over 2k req/s. Here is when we blocked it. Traffic is a portion of requests we serve in India.

We've temporarily removed the block. We're still waiting to hear from Delhivery: Our contact details are available here: https://operations.osmfoundation.org/ Sorry to all their customers with delayed deliveries. How about mapping your area while you wait for your parcel? 😉 https://www.openstreetmap.org/fixthemap 🗺️ ❤️

@osm_tech Need to develop a cute “Are you the owner of this website?”-overlay for the tiles…
