   We have optimized capacity in the Chennai, IN (MAA) region to the best of our abilities. At this time there is no degradation to services in the region, but we do expect that intermittent delays and timeouts for Edge Delivery and other services such as Bot Manager Premier may arise during peak traffic hours in the region until we can replace the degraded hardware. Current ETA for hardware replacement continues to be end of day on April 29, 2026.
