I've already said it in another post. I suggest you read up on distributed databases and database propagation. It is not about instancing however many players together, it is about distributing a pan-modal, pan-instance asset across the whole of the player base.

Dare I suggest that people constantly scheduling and then canceling jumps repeatedly just add to the problem, forcing the system to constantly recalculate and readjust whatever happens on the backend for this?

Just leave it on the 1 hour timer. What's the big deal? Can't fly there yourself? You need all your fleet there IMMEDIATELY?
Who here remembers the time where we've had no FC? Heck, we've had no ship transfers and people coped.
Gamers can be such a weirdly tantrummy crowd sometimes...

Well at least now that the problem is being investigated and thus "acknowledged", people will have the opportunity to cry "See? We were right! It is broken!!!!! You white knights have no idea what you are talking about!!!".
My personal thought: Just put them on a general one hour timer and let the system relax a bit even in the stressiest of times.
Redis seemed to have nailed it. Discord seemed to have nailed it. Do you have example material that you personally recommend from experience?
in what way is a bulletin board or IRC text chat (which discord essentially is at its backbone) the same as distributing assets for a computer game? Also, watch what happens to Reddit, Discord or basically any web based service when their servers suffer from a DDoS attack - which the mass jumping of carriers at times like these essentially is.
You can glorify Discord as much as you want, but every service can be brought down with a DDoS attack. Some more easy than others, but every service is vulnerable to this in some form.
I'm talking about tech advancement and you're talking about service denials suddenly. Probably both of us would be happy to oblige one another all day, but at the end of the day there's more they can attribute to their servers with more money requirements, but looking at Fdev financials YoY, kinda worrysome.
The increased jump timers is exactly this: A way to mitigate denial of service. But you do you. If it makes you happy, post whataboutisms and tell them how to do their job all you like. Maybe apply for one while you're at it.
Have you ever tried to scroll through the list of users in a large discord channel? It goes blank.
When the server has more than a certain number of users, they have to stop showing the ones that are offline because it causes too much load.
Hardly a service to model yourself after.

every service has to do some form of rate limiting when the load gets too big, and every service craps out when you overload it. It's just that text chat might scale a bit better than a video game
.ding ding ding! We have a winner. Here is another one for the bingo card: "backseat developer". Have a nice life.

Investigation into current Fleet Carrier jump times
Greetings Commanders. Since the release of Update 16 it has been noted that many of you are experiencing unusually lengthy Fleet Carrier jump times. Where yes, these times can vary in order to compensate for heavy traffic, it's becoming more apparent after some extended monitoring of the...

For myself it seems to depend on time of day, two jumps this morning were 15 and 20 mins, two in the evening were an hour.

I'm thinking so as well. Peak times are tough and off times are pretty smooth. I've seen that as well.

because they all operate on some kind of database system, mostly likely some flavor of SQL.
