    We have identified and are working to resolve an issue that is causing query results to return inconsistent results.

  2. investigating May 22, 2026, 12:49 AM UTC

    Impact from this issue has concluded. For a period of time (different between US and EU instances, noted below), queries spanning data older than the most recent 2 hours with certain GROUP / WHERE clauses returned inconsistent results. Data was never lost, and reruns of the same queries will show the previously missing data. US impact times: 21:50 UTC - 23:20 UTC EU impact times: 20:50 UTC - 23:20 UTC

  3. resolved May 22, 2026, 04:42 PM UTC

    This is an administrative update, marking the incident as Resolved. There has been no further impact since 23:20UTC on May 21 2026.

    Activity log delay is rising, and is more than an hour behind due to a MySQL replica failover.

  2. monitoring May 08, 2026, 10:13 AM UTC

    Backfilling of the past 2h30m of data is now in progress and should complete shortly.

  3. monitoring May 08, 2026, 10:21 AM UTC

    We believe that the activity log should now be caught up.

    We are continuing to monitor for any further issues.

  5. monitoring May 08, 2026, 10:40 AM UTC

    All activity log streams are now caught up, except for the query runs table, which should have all data since the start of the incident backfilled by 1600 PDT.

    The database failover that caused query issues earlier in the EU (https://status.honeycomb.io/incidents/n855d8kzp32y) has also had knock-on effects on our Activity Log beta feature. Due to recovery issues on the data replication flow used for this mechanism, activity log events will be missing from 12:45 UTC until 19:45 UTC, representing a 5 hour gap in events. We have identified configuration parameters that will be adjusted to reduce the likelihood of such losses in the future.
