API ABUSE
Recently there is something called bot name sniping which allow abusers to send change name requests to mojang api (minecraft.net) and using proxies to bypass ratelimit (429) which causes memory leak and lags the api
API: https://api.mojang.com/user/profile/UUID/name
METHOD: POST
DATA: {"name":"name","password":"password"}
to fix this you guys need to add recaptcha or some bot detection to prevent abusers from sending huge amount of requests.
please reply as soon as possible
