This happens once a month when the monthly quota for free hosting has
reached its maximum. Boost relies on free hosting of their cdn and so
they are at a mercy of the hosting provider - IBM.
I think Google Firebase would be a better option because that is also
free but I was told it is not an option because of the work involved to
moving the repository on to Firebase.
I just took a loot at Google Firebase, and the free tier (10 GB/month)
would last us (much) less than an hour.
