Godaddy tries to upsell their "premium" DNS service by blocking high-frequency DNS requests on their non-premium authoritive servers.[1][2]

I would call that a technical issue, even though it probably only affects web crawlers.

To expand on web crawlers, monitoring/uptime services are affected as well.
