beehiiv incident
Some newsletter emails sent to google inboxes are delayed
Resolved after 1 hour 36 minutes, affecting Sending emails, on July 27, 2026.
This morning we experienced a large uptick in 'deferrals' when we attempted to deliver email to Gmail for a portion of the senders on our platform, which has lead to delays for newsletters sent between 9am-11am ET arriving in subscribers inboxes. We have updated our internal email infrastructure to route around the issue, so new sends are not effected but we are still working to deliver the remaining emails that were caught by this throttling issue (> 50% have been delivered).
