Deque Outage History

We have resolved the issue with the DevTools server outage. It was the result of a slow internal API request that caused the outage when a new version of the axe DevTools browser extension was released. If you have any further questions, please reach out to the Deque Helpdesk.

axe Assistant was unavailable in Deque University for a brief period today due to an upstream incident with our AI provider.

Between approximately 3:00 PM and 4:05 PM EDT, automated assessments in Intelligent Guided Tests were not completing, causing all elements to appear as "Pending Review." Users were still able to complete IGTs manually during this period. The issue was caused by an unexpected disruption with a third-party AI service provider. The provider has since restored service, and automated IGT assessments are now functioning normally. No action is required from users. We apologize for any inconvenience and are reviewing safeguards to reduce the impact of similar third-party disruptions in the future. For any questions or assistance, please reach out to us at [email protected].
