Help with revert

Help and support

I spotted what looks like a person who didn’t realize that he was making an edit (Adding bogus data and deleting random objects, only one changeset by the account)

I tried reverting with osm-revert which gave this output

Do I (as the output says) just wait for some time for the server to become free or is the server fine and there is something that I am doing wrong which is causing this

(the wiki advises to reach out to the community, which is why I am making this post instead of trying to troubleshoot myself)

The same happened to me yesterday, and it worked after a retry less than a minute later. So just try again.

Specify a other Overpass API URL. For example: https://maps.mail.ru/osm/tools/overpass/api/interpreter

However, please note that you will need to disable tracking protection in your browser (if it has one).

Added information about this to the wiki

recently server has intermittent errors, which seems to be effect of Overpass Servers being overloaded - see say Overpass API will block Azure and AWS for some time and Overpass API/status - OpenStreetMap Wiki

it seems that this (and related) attacks continue to degrade Overpass usability for everyone else

you should simply retry after some time

for this one I run revert in Changeset: 174144116 | OpenStreetMap
