Resolved. Between 06:10 and 11:10 UTC on 20 October 2026, a Google Cloud infrastructure incident in the London (europe-west2) region caused intermittent failures for BigQuery-backed features in the LimaCharlie UK region: Replay / historical searches and search cost estimates, which could fail with "failed to get sensor event count: googleapi: Error 400: The job encountered an error during execution ... jobBackendError" The Insight usage overview in the web app Scheduled IOC index refreshes Telemetry ingestion, detection & response, and the UK API endpoints remained available throughout.
