Hi

The Image file referendum banners are currently running at 100% globally[1], on all projects (correct me if I'm wrong). It seems rather excessive considering the banner's size and the subject.

I have no idea, if this issue really needs such an exposure. The scheduled service outage notice a few months ago, in comparison which led to complete project outage for more than an hour, had a much smaller banner which didn't even run at 100%.

Can someone please tell me if this issue requires this much urgency and exposure? it is affecting local geo-tagged banners on a lot of projects.

Thanks

Theo
