The API went back to normal, read - write operation a few hours ago.
Either on schedule or slightly ahead of schedule. :-)

By popular demand for mappers, minutely diffs will be provided during
this transitional period.  They will be unusual[1] so evaluate
carefully if you want to consume these diffs or not.

There will be another change to the ODbL diffs, at the completion of
the license upgrade.  The same caution to evaluate when you wish to
transition to the new or the ODbL diffs holds.

[1] They'll include changes by the background cleaning script so the
diffs will be larger than usual.
