In the future what’s the best way to report issues like this for the best response, if not here?

Here on the forum is the right place to raise issues like this, and tag your post using the galaxy-ng tag. You can also use the @CommunityEngTeam group.

It’s been a while since I’ve gone out of my way to look, but is there any official Ansible documentation to encourage and provide examples of caching strategies that would minimize the load and reliance on https://galaxy.ansible.com?

I’m not aware of any existing documentation like this on docs.ansible.com. The docs are always open to contributions at GitHub - ansible/ansible-documentation: Ansible community documentation · GitHub to include useful projects from Mirroring / proxy caching galaxy on an existing or new page.

At CfgMgmtCamp 2026 Ansible Contributor Summit, there was discussion of deploying a community status page to monitor community services and other related infrastructure: Ansible Community Status page & Notifications - Please join the dicussions there if you’re interested.
