    During a brief window from 07:19 (CET) to 07:24 (CET) today a faulty deployment let to instability in the API that handles search and recommendations for the /v2/ API routes. The cause was a feature update behaving differently in development vs production. The error was highlighted within minutes and the deployment was rolled back. We will perform a root cause analysis, finding out both why the bug doesn't trigger during development and how to automate detection of this case to prevent it from happening again. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and will continue striving to deliver an even better service.

    My.clerk.io and support are unavailable The production API is currently not affected - you will still see search and recommendation results on your store. Several of our service providers are currently experiencing issues, leading to timeouts and errors that prevent us from loading your account information into my.clerk.io or accessing our support tools. As this appears to be a wider internet issue, there is not much you or we can actively do at this time. We are monitoring the situation closely and will provide updates here as soon as we have more information.
