- postmortem Oct 12, 2020, 08:41 PM UTC
* **Summary of event**: On Thursday October 8th, [doxy.me](http://doxy.me) experienced roughly 90 minutes of client downtime. * **Business Impacts**: [[Doxy.me](http://Doxy.me)](http://doxy.me) waiting room pages failed to load. Users saw a blank screen, and were ultimately redirected to a “clinic does not exist” error message. * **How was the issue resolved**: We stopped and restarted the [doxy.me](http://doxy.me) services. This solved the immediate issue and service was restored. * **Root cause**: Connections to one of our vendors were staying open for too long without timing out. This used up the available connections until our service was no longer able to respond. * **Preventative next steps**: A solution is in progress and will be included in a future release.
