It's possible they're just exceeding the GitHub Pages monthly usage limits[1]. I did a little math, and I'd say that over around 1 million hits per month could push them over, and that hit count is within the realm of possibility.

Never knew that those limits existed TBH. Unfortunate, GitHub Pages is honestly a great way to host static web pages for free.

• It was a policy violation, not a bandwidth limit.
• The GitHub limits are soft limits, not hard limits.
• Camas search is a static site with little to no imagery, I don't know how your math worked, out, but the bandwidth should be *well under* 100gb/month even with millions of hits.
