Hi, I’m the owner of a small RP game, Checho’s Deltarune RP. We are currently being attacked by some sort of new exploit in which large amounts of players, presumably bots, are filling the queue to join servers, preventing anybody from joining the server, and are seemingly staying in the queue indefinitely despite the server having more than enough capacity to let players in.
If you look at the server list, you will see many servers open which have just 2-7 players, but are otherwise impossible to join. Even trying to join a server that shows 2 players in it, results in a message saying there is a queue of 8 players. This issue is heavily affecting our player experience and has made it next to impossible for a full server to form, which is critical given the social nature of the experience. Any help would be appreciated.
This attack started at roughly 2025-04-10T15:30:00Z.

Expected behavior
I expect the queue to work as intended, and not be filled up by bots. Typically, under normal circumstances, our game servers fill up to ~150 people in one server.
