  1. monitoring Sep 03, 2026, 09:49 PM UTC

    Starting at 2:12 PM PDT, we began experiencing increased API error rates for STS and Sign In when using SAML. Our engineering team was automatically engaged at 2:19 PM to begin investigating the root cause. There is no work around available at this time. We will provide another update by 3:30 PM PDT.

  2. monitoring Sep 03, 2026, 10:26 PM UTC

    We are seeing early signs of recovery and continue to monitor for full recovery. We will provide another update at 4:15 PM, or sooner if we have additional information to share.

  3. monitoring Sep 03, 2026, 11:20 PM UTC

    We continue to see recovery holding steady for the STS AssumeRoleWithSAML and AssumeRoleWithWebIdentityAPIs in the US-WEST-2 Region. Error rates are now back to pre-event levels, and continue actively monitoring to confirm full recovery. We will provide another update by 5:15 PM or earlier.

  4. monitoring Sep 04, 2026, 12:07 AM UTC

    Between 2:12 PM and 3:18 PM PDT, we experienced increased API error rates affecting the STS AssumeRoleWithSAML and AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity APIs in the US-WEST-2 Region. The root cause was determined to be due to an issue with an STS subsystem responsible for communicating with external identity providers. Other AWS Services that rely on these identity federation protocols were also affected. At 3:18 PM, we observed signs of recovery and continued to monitor to ensure stability and full recovery. The issue is resolved and the service is operating normally at this time.

  2. monitoring Aug 21, 2026, 02:40 AM UTC

    Between 4:58 PM and 6:34 PM PDT, we experienced increased delays affecting real-time metrics for Amazon Connect in the AP-NORTHEAST-1 Region, resulting in missing or stale data. During this time, customers may have experienced missing data within analytics reports, and may have observed issues if accessing realtime metrics within contact Flows, such as checking agent staffing. We identified the root cause to be an issue with the subsystem responsible for metric event delivery. We started applying the mitigations at 6:13 PM and mitigated the issue by 6:34 PM. The issue has been resolved and the service is operating normally.
