Update timeline
- investigating Sep 19, 2025, 07:47 PM UTC
We are investigating increased latency and timeouts with the REST and GraphQL endpoints.
- identified Sep 19, 2025, 08:30 PM UTC
We have discovered a rogue puma process contributing to the high latency and have restarted it. We are now investigating other processes to determine if they are exhibiting the same rogue behaviour.
- monitoring Sep 19, 2025, 09:07 PM UTC
We've identified a large increase in load which has now been resolved, and we're monitoring to ensure request latency returns to normal operating levels.
- resolved Sep 19, 2025, 09:17 PM UTC
We are happy that request latency has dropped to normal levels so consider this issue resolved.
