Alright, I think it’s happening to me. When i hold my front brake and stand on the pedals I am getting some pretty loud creaking. Got any advice for now? Safe to keep riding? I get a squeak whenever I pedal with power.

Remove the cranks and inspect for cracks... Anyway, you have to remove BSA alloy insert from the frame to be able to glue it back. Mine just felt off when i was trying to unscrew BB caps.

still waiting for mine to be shipped out from all star bicycle. I ordered 15 days ago, he is saying now there is a delay because they are making updates to the frame... hoping its a good update :)

Do you have their contact info? Whatsapp even? I can’t find their contact info for warranty claim.

 It happened to me, after a month, maybe more after purchase. Loud creaking when stepping hard, especially when climbing. It scared me, but it turned out that (I didn't think of it earlier xd) I had to grease all the connections, unscrew the rear triangle, grease the bearings., bushing
The frame has been ridden for almost 2 years, sometimes there is creaking, but usually, unscrewing the crank, greasing helps.
I haven't greased these connections since then, now it's my trainer season and I'm currently waiting for the second frame in a size larger from Airwolf... we'll see how it goes

What are the typical and constant problems with this frame? Bottom bracket falling out, shock mounting bolt breaking. What else?

Well, bb falling out seems to be present in the original mold, not the new EPS molded version. The shock bolts is not something I encountered. I torqued them up to what i thought was reasonable, not following the OEM spec as those bolts are not the same.
