  2. identified Dec 15, 2020, 04:49 PM UTC

    The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented.

  3. resolved Dec 15, 2020, 06:00 PM UTC

    This incident has been resolved. Broadcasts that were scheduled to begin during the affected period will be restarted.

  4. postmortem Dec 15, 2020, 08:18 PM UTC

    A software update relating to the broadcast scheduling mechanism introduced a regression in our system, which caused broadcasts to stay stuck in an initial “sending” state. This has been resolved with a subsequent software update. This issue was not caught by automated or QA testing, and we have updated our automated testing and quality assurance controls to prevent a similar issue from happening in the future. Affected broadcasts eventually retried and delivered their message to their audience after a delay.
