Edge on iOS has broken cache management, causing DoS-like traffic to websites
Given we keep suffering from complaints from affected users of ours, and seeing our limited network/IT resources wasted as a result, we will start serving a custom page to affected users linking them here.
If this proves useless too, we will consider straight up blocking the associated user-agents altogether.

MTC - is a Public Forum that is not a Microsoft technical support.
In order for the end user to provide valuable feedback and attach diagnostic data so that this can be checked and fixed, please - Alt+Shift+I.
Description and behavior ( comparison, etc. - without diagnostic data is useless)
Regards, of course, I do not work for Microsoft.

Yes, too bad Microsoft does not have any technical support nor bug reporting avenue for websites experiencing bad browser behaviour from their browsers. Which is exactly what I wrote multiple times in the post as well. Please read it first.

I attached all the relevant diagnostic information necessary. This happens on Edge on iOS in unpredictable ways. There's no Alt+Shift+I there. Nor is it our job to gather client-side browser debug logs for Microsoft when we're a website. That said, my original post is once again **very** extensive in technical details already. Once again, please read it first.

Simply – I believe that your post will not solve this problem!
Opinions Edge = Alt + Shift + I , of course the shortcut is not necessary , thank you for the answer.

I appreciate that you're trying to help, but what you're missing out is that all (*all*) other browser vendors offers ways to report bugs (whether on their forums, github repos, bugtrackers, ...) except Microsoft. Their mobile browsers are the only ones on the market where there is simply no way to report issues.
Our coming here and sharing detailed information with 0 guarantee of it being seen by Microsoft is already not acceptable. The fact that we're trying to report an egregious bug is merely additional grief. And no surprise it has been going on for weeks now, since website operators just cannot report bugs, and this issue is entirely invisible to end-users.
As for the bing webmaster tools that you link, that's completely unrelated. We have no issues with Bing.
