    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.
