  2. identified Feb 22, 2026, 05:37 PM UTC

    We’ve identified that the issue affecting email/password sign-ins is caused by a degradation in service from our downstream authentication provider, Auth0: https://status.auth0.com/incidents/kknl0nbdzbvx Users should still be able to sign in using GitHub or Bitbucket OAuth, which remain operational. We continue to monitor and will update as we learn more.

  3. monitoring Feb 22, 2026, 06:53 PM UTC

    Our downstream authentication provider has implemented mitigation actions and is reporting a reduction in errors. We are seeing corresponding improvement in email/password login success rates. We are continuing to monitor closely to ensure stability before marking this incident resolved.

    Between Dec 2, 2025 16:20 UTC and Dec 3, 2025 14:27 UTC, a change deployed to our workflow execution system caused duplicate notifications to be sent to some customers and triggered unexpected auto-reruns for a small number of projects. Impact: - Some customers received multiple failure notification emails for the same workflow. - The number of duplicate notifications varied based on how many jobs in the workflow were affected (e.g., marked skipped or cancelled). - A subset of customers may have received duplicate Slack notifications. - A small number of projects experienced duplicated auto-reruns. The issue has been fully mitigated, and notification behavior has returned to normal. We appreciate your patience while our team resolved this issue.
