We are currently experiencing a delay in processing Session Replay and Error event data. Incoming data is being queued and will be processed — no data has been lost. Customers may observe a temporary lag in session and error data appearing in the LaunchDarkly UI. We have identified the root cause as elevated database utilization and are actively working to resolve the backlog. We will provide updates as processing returns to normal.
