Quick response. Instead of shutting it down, we significantly reduced compute resources for the project (reducing CPU count, RAM, and API request quotas). So now it only costs us about $50/month to maintain, previously it was $200/month. We're maintaining it primarily for historical purposes.
Hi folks, I'm one of the creators of Terrapattern. It's correct that the project (created in 2015) is now essentially 'abandoned': we are no longer updating the code and datasets. The project is currently running with a very limited compute instance and (furthermore) it looks like we hit our API limits this morning, possibly as a result of this article :( I'll see if I can get it to open up again.
