We don't have a labeled y-axis so their record usage could be a 5% increase for all they're showing us.

I think it doesn't need to be a large X% increase, just needs to hit some critical infra threshold where various services start failing and cascade. Weakest link and everything.
This isn't 1998 anymore.
Were we better at labeling axes in 1998? Sounds plausible, but who knows.
