Problems with socket.io and repeated installation of node v12.0.0

A project of mine utilizing socket.io had worked for ~an year until I logged into my glitch account today and opened up the project. It’s now broken.

Whenever I refresh I see the following message over and over again

node v12.0.0, with pnpm
Installing…
Performing headless installation

And now sometimes when I refresh and see the ‘…domain…/socket.io/socket.io.min.js’ it cycles from loading correctly to showing ‘Forbidden 403’ or ‘too many requests…’
