Haha, yeah, A and E are definitely not the way to go. I like the idea of automating server-side error reporting for customers though - that could give them a heads up and maybe even prevent some of the requests in the first place.

Whoa, configuring shorter timeouts? That could just make things worse! Users might get booted out mid-session. And decreasing simultaneous responses? That's like shooting yourself in the foot. I'd steer clear of A and E for sure.

I agree, B and C seem like the best options here. Implementing rate-limiting will help control the number of requests, and proper API key management can ensure only authorized users are accessing the API.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. The spike in API call requests and high number of inactive sessions definitely point to some kind of abuse or overload issue. I'm thinking B and C might be the way to go - rate-limiting and API key maintenance could help mitigate that.
