Status: Resolved We are aware that earlier today, Wednesday 5th August, at roughly 9am UTC, there was a temporary issue that impacted the publishing success rates of Pinterest. It does appear that this was an issue directly with Pinterest's API, and it was a transient issue that recovered by 9:50am UTC. Publishing success for posts from Buffer to Pinterest are back to normal levels now. If you noticed any of your posts from earlier today to Pinterest have failed, retrying them again in Buffer should allow them to post normally. We're very sorry for any inconvenience caused by this incident.
