Update timeline

  1. identified Oct 22, 2026, 03:26 PM UTC

    We're hitting some resource limits from increased load, so some users are seeing period slowness when loading ampcode.com "ampcode.com": http://ampcode.com. We're working on scaling up, will keep you updated.

    We're hitting some resource limits from increased load on our database, but need to wait for compute so we can resize. Shedding load right now. Clients (macOS, iOS, TUI) and ampcode.com "ampcode.com": http://ampcode.com might be slow.

  3. identified Oct 22, 2026, 04:09 PM UTC

    We identified a bad query that creates unexpected high load on the database. Reverting.

  4. monitoring Oct 22, 2026, 04:37 PM UTC

    We managed to shed load (we identified a user's plugin causing a lot of load without being rate limited; fixing) and optimized queries. The database performance is back to normal.
