@[email protected] this is nothing new. Back when the COVID-19 pandemics was at its peak, a state-owned Brazilian bank Caixa Econômica Federal created an app named “Caixa Tem”, where people could apply for and receive a governamental aid. The app had a “queue” akin to that one.
My state has this for unemployment benefits. At peak times it can take hours to get through.
It seems more reasonable to me in that circumstance, as it’s a temporary scenario, they would have little idea of what demand would be and potentially were not able to scale their profit to cover increased load cost.
