@weeman1337 presumably these are GET requests, rather than PUT or DELETE?

(unfortunately I can't tell from the rageshake, because #25570)

As long the path parameters are different between the requests (ie, different room ids or session ids), I don't think this is a particular problem. (We would normally expect to see up to one /room_keys/keys/!… request for each undecryptable event -- including when the message arrives before the keys).

Yes

It happened when starting Element Desktop nightly. Maybe something went wrong and all (missing) keys were requested? 🤷‍♂️ There were thousands of them.

I will keep an eye on it.
