+**Update 2023-01-31**: Russ Cox of the Go team reached out to us to address this
+problem. After some discussion, an acceptable plan was worked out. The Go team
+is working on deploying an update to the "go" tool to add a -reuse flag, which
+should substantially reduce the traffic generated by this system for all users
+of Go.
+
+In the meantime, the automated refresh traffic from proxy.golang.org was
+disabled for SourceHut, which the Go team assures us should have little-to-no
+impact on users and which reduces the burden on our system to a managable level.
+Following this change by the Go team, we have observed traffic from the Go
+module mirror reduced to an acceptable level. The Go team has decided that the
+automatic refresh behavior is their responsibility, not the responsibility of
+other operators, so any other small hosts will hopefully not be affected as the
+Go team will enable or disable the refresh behavior at their discretion with the
+burden on third-party operators in mind.
+
+Consequently, we have cancelled our plans to disable Go traffic to git.sr.ht. No
+action is required by users to continue receiving service. Thanks Russ!
+

 SourceHut will disable git access for the [Go Module Mirror][0] on February
 24th, 2023. This will cause a service impact for Go users. This article explains
 why this step is necessary and how Go users can work around the issue.
