Resolved after 2 hours 21 minutes, affecting ui.honeycomb.io - US1 Querying and ui.honeycomb.io - US1 App Interface and 1 more, on October 20, 2026.
On October 20, Honeycomb experienced about 3 hours of degraded service in the US region. From 13:30 to 14:40 UTC, querying, the Honeycomb UI, the management API, and triggers experienced elevated latency and error rates, with the highest impact between 13:55 and 14:10 UTC. Some trigger alerts may have been late or missed during that time. SLO processing suffered delays between 13:26 and 14:10 UTC. From 13:57 to 14:09 UTC, about half of requests to the event ingest API received 5xx errors. Lesser impact occurred between 13:48 to 13:55 \(1% error rate\) and for approximately minute at 14:15 \(3% error rate\). We’ll publish a more in-depth report on Friday, October 23 which will cover detection, remediation, and outstanding action items.
