Bludit has crashed and died. Any hope?

Up until Friday my Bludit blog was working fine. I made no changes between then now, but now when I try to create a post, I can save the first three paragraphs but if I add a fourth, when I try to save I get an HTTP 500 error. I tried several times with the same result. If I take the fourth paragraph off, it works again. I then tried uploading and saving a photo to the same post, and it worked. Tried the paragraph again, and I got the HTTP 500 error. It makes no sense. I also notice that the "autosave" stopped working.
Out of frustration I deleted the folder named "bludi-pro" from my web host (this is the folder I download as a zip file for backups since the backup plug-in no longer works) and then I uploaded a backup from last week from before I had any problems. The site displays, but when I try to upload a photo to a new post, it won't let me. The upload appears to be working and the blue progress bar moves to the right, but it never turns green and the image never appears.
What is going on with this thing? I've made no changes that should be affecting anything. And in any event, reverting to the backed up file should have fixed any issues, but it didn't.
I'm using Bludit Pro and PHP 8.1 FastCGI.
Can anyone help before I bail on this and move to WordPress? I really don't want to re-create almost 3 years of posts on another platform but I'm really frustrated.
