      Status: Investigating We are currently investigating some issues with Meta's API for Facebook, Instagram and Threads. It appears that Meta is currently running into some difficulties and it will be impacting all services in Buffer related to Facebook, Instagram and Threads. This means we will be seeing issues publishing to these platforms as well issues ingesting data for analytics and comments. We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience this may be causing, and we will be monitoring things further and hope Meta will be running smoothly again soon. As soon as we have any further information we will update it here. Affected components Buffer Web App (Degraded performance)

      Status: Identified We have identified an ongoing issue affecting Instagram publishing through Buffer. Approximately 35% of Instagram publishing attempts are currently failing. Our investigation indicates this is caused by a degradation in Meta's Instagram Graph API, specifically during the media publishing process. Buffer's systems are operating normally — posts are being submitted successfully, but Meta's API is returning errors when processing them. No other networks (Facebook, Threads, LinkedIn, etc.) are affected. We recommend not retrying failed posts at this time, as the issue is on Meta's side and repeated attempts are unlikely to succeed until Meta resolves the degradation. We are actively monitoring the situation and will provide updates as the status changes. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

      Status: Identified We're continuing to see issues with publishing to Instagram. Other tools using Meta's API have reported similar issues. We've reported the issue to Meta and will share updates as we have them.

      Status: Identified We've deployed a temporary fix that has restored Instagram publishing success rates to normal levels while we wait for Meta to roll out a permanent fix on their end. If you have failed posts from earlier, you can retry them now. If a retry doesn't go through, refreshing your Instagram channel connection should help. We're continuing to monitor closely.
