  4. resolved Feb 04, 2026, 12:48 AM UTC

    The issue has been resolved and services are operating normally. The root cause was a networking configuration change in the us-west-2 region that caused client connection issues starting at approximately 21:33 UTC, resulting in intermittent service disruption across several Confluent Cloud services, including Kafka, Flink, Metrics API, Logging, Provisioning, and Authentication. The change was reverted, and as of 00:20 UTC, services have been fully restored.
