**Summary** On June 9, 2026, customers experienced delays in chat message delivery and related real-time updates for a portion of the morning. The issue was caused by a third-party service event affecting the infrastructure used to propagate real-time messaging updates. Service recovered the same morning, and current system health is stable. **Root cause** A third-party real-time messaging provider experienced elevated latency and intermittent publish failures in one of its regions. That disruption delayed delivery acknowledgements and other real-time updates in Kustomer. Messages continued to be stored successfully, but some updates were not reflected immediately in the client until the external service recovered or the client refreshed. **Timeline** * **9:05 AM EDT** — Customer impact began, including delayed chat message delivery and stale real-time updates. * **9:45 AM EDT** — The third-party provider reported active latency affecting its service. * **9:48 AM EDT** — The provider reported mitigation and recovery. * **Shortly after recovery** — Real-time behavior returned to normal and monitoring confirmed stability. **Lesson/improvements** * We added additional monitoring tied to the third-party provider's public service health signals so similar service events can be identified faster. * We are improving alerting around real-time messaging errors to reduce time to diagnosis. * We are continuing to review operational signals to better distinguish external service issues from internal platform issues.
