This affected all product offerings. **Root cause** The incident was caused by a regional outage in Google Cloud Tasks, which is responsible for the queuing infrastructure we use to scale our services. **Timeline** * 7:19 PM - Issue identified by our team. * 7:19 PM – 9:30 PM - Investigation and mitigation efforts, including temporarily migrating regions and temporarily disabling certain merchant integrations to prevent user impact. * ~9:59 PM - Confirmed the issue was resolved and systems were working as intended. Began processing the backlog. * 11:07 PM - Monitoring was successful. Incident resolved. **Impact** * Tasks submitted during the incident window experienced significant processing delays. * All queued tasks were eventually processed once the alternate region was operational. * A small number of card switches could not be retried automatically. Affected users can simply re-initiate their card switch to complete the process.
