Update timeline

  1. investigating Apr 01, 2025, 04:23 PM UTC

    We are currently investigating an increase in authentication errors. These errors typically include the following error message: `Authentication error, API token missing/invalid` If you get this error please retry the request as retries are typically successful.

  2. investigating Apr 01, 2025, 04:36 PM UTC

    We are continuing to investigate the cause of the increased authentication errors but this issue is only affecting a small number of requests relatative to our overall traffic. We are continuing to see over a 99.9% success rate for requests to our APIs.

  3. monitoring Apr 01, 2025, 05:16 PM UTC

    We have seen a reduction in authentication errors over the last ~60 minutes but we are continuing to monitor traffic to ensure continued good performance.

  4. resolved Apr 01, 2025, 10:58 PM UTC

    We have continued to see good results over the last several hours and are now marking this issue as resolved.
