  3. identified Dec 24, 2025, 02:19 AM UTC

    Ok, we've confirmed our fix is working and are rolling it out to our servers now. ETA is 30 minutes.

  4. identified Dec 24, 2025, 02:40 AM UTC

    The fix is still rolling out. In the interim, root cause was an upgrade to our net-http library. That upgrade removed a default header, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded," from http requests our code issues to Cloudflare. The Cloudflare Turnstile API, which we use in conjunction with Captcha, expects this header to be present, and started rejecting our requests as a result.

  5. resolved Dec 24, 2025, 02:56 AM UTC

    Our fix is now deployed and we're seeing normal volume of successful username/password logins.
