PSA: An outage is expected from January 23, 2026 to January 31, 2026 due to hitting hard monthly limits set by Firebase. The attacks between the 1st-3rd used 86% of the free monthly bandwidth limit. We're sitting at 94% currently without any attacks since. With expectations to hit 100% on the 23rd or 24th

To combat this, anon account creations are also disabled. What this means for you: New visitors to your site won't be able to read your chat though they can still send messages due to the server processing that and not the client.
By February 1st, all services will be restored except email sign up & chat creation. The project will remain on the free plan and will remain subject to daily limits as mentioned in the article below https://iframe.chat/updates/article/shutdown-info.html
I am also aware of being unable to login from your chat, I may work on this later. If you're tech savvy enough, you can copy your Firebase login/account cookie from the dashboard to your website (or your chat) then you won't need to sign in.
