A system comprising:

• at least one hardware processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform a set of operations comprising:
• receiving, from a first user on a first client device, a first request for an online service to perform an online operation;
• receiving, from a second user on a second device, a second request for the online service to perform the online operation;
• detecting at least one overload condition for the online service, the at least one overload condition corresponding to a first request time of the first request;
• selecting a standard of restriction from a plurality of standards of restriction based on the at least one overload condition, the plurality of standards of restriction comprising different techniques or degrees of permitting access to the online operation;
• denying the first user access to the online operation of the online service based on the selected standard of restriction;
• and
• permitting the second user access to the online operation of the online service based on the selected standard of restriction.
