[outages] Akamai Offload reduction since the New Year?

[dl]

So far we have seen, all requests have been legit. Our content is very
static binary files, which makes this a little more confusing. It
almost feels like our service has had its expiry adjusted on the
Akamai side, causing our content to expire faster than it use to from
edge servers. Or perhaps a new customer has come in and is taking over
the majority of the cache on these same servers? Impossible to tell,
and not information Akamai wants to share with other people.

Thank you all for your contacts. I'll be happy to hear anything else
anyone wants to suggest.
