The W3C API and services under labs.w3.org have been moved to a separate proxy server. Those services are now fully operational.
W3C Validators continue to receive a lot of incoming traffic but the mitigations that have been put in place have been beneficial. Please note that W3C validators are now available exclusively over HTTPS.
