Update timeline
- investigating Oct 20, 2026, 06:55 AM UTC
Status: Investigating We are investigating an issue affecting a small number of dbt platform accounts in our EMEA region. Starting around 06:00 UTC, some job runs may be stuck in a “Running” state and can’t be cancelled. Stuck runs may count against your account’s run concurrency, so new runs may start late. Our engineering team is working on a fix. We will post another update within 60 minutes. Affected components Scheduled Jobs (EU Cell 1 GCP) (Degraded performance)
