Seems like it's behaving itself fairly consistently now. For a couple hours I got 500 almost every time I tried to refresh (I think it worked twice) . Edit 8 minutes later: broken again. Every time it fails with 500.

I will investigate tomorrow. My apologies.
No need to apologize. Let me know if I can help!
The problem is related to a periodic denial of service caused by lots of hits to the login page, which is an extremely expensive operation and exhausts php processes for other things like what you’re seeing.
Scrapers/crawlers or legit traffic? Either way, thanks for looking; you're the best!
