We've not seen any recurrence of this issue in our own monitoring now for over 3 hours (earlier today we had been seeing this issue occur several times each hour).
Whilst confirmation and detailed postmortem information on this incident from Cloudflare is scarce at this time, we believe that they have now resolved their issue(s).
We will post more information here in the coming hours should this be forthcoming from Cloudflare. In the meantime, we will consider this matter resolved.
We apologize on behalf of Cloudflare if you've been impacted by this intermittent connectivity issue earlier today.
Should you continue to experience any 502, 520, or 522 errors in the coming hours when accessing your cloud hosted MIDAS system, please do screenshot these errors and send them to us so that we can forward the details on to Cloudflare.
