Same thing is happening to me. Setting aside the fact that it's flagging accounts that are already cyber verified, which needs to be looked into on its own, the flagging should at least be scoped to individual threads, not entire accounts. Just end the flagged thread, or throttle that specific thread. It shouldn't degrade performance across other threads that for example are running normal frontend work.
Got this too. Getting it on already verified account while developing my landing page. I'm so dangerous.
