We are still in the phase of fully recovering our services but we wanted to provide you with an update. A more detailed and thorough explanation will be provided through the standard RCA process when it is completed. At 10:36am EST on December 7, 2021, the Coveo team became aware of issues with a third-party cloud services provider that had impacted multiple Coveo services. The provider has communicated that they have taken mitigation actions that show significant recovery in the impacted region. They expect to continue to see improved performance, but do not have an ETA for full recovery at this time. We are managing the situation and we will keep you informed as it evolves. Thank you
