There was no error code. Searches would simply say "loading" and keep spinning for several minutes and the results would never load

What I did wrong
I did a search with 5 origins * 6 destinations * 6 days, which is way over the limit

What I didn't realize
Usually when I don't realize I'm doing heavy searches, there'd be an error telling me that my search is way over the credits allowable for one search. This time, there was no error, so I kept forcing the search through, and it wouldn't load

What's wrong, then?
There is no error message anymore when a single search is too big
This is fixed (good catch, ctrl/cmd-refresh to get it), but I'm 100% sure your credit usage was not going up here. The back-end was returning an error. The front-end wasn't handling it properly.
