Beginning at approximately 07:05 UTC on September 14, some API requests have been experiencing intermittent elevated latency and timeouts, returning HTTP 504 errors. The affected endpoints are GET /v1/tokenizations, GET /v1/tokenizations/{tokenization_token}, POST /v1/tokenizations, and POST /v1/cards. Impact occurs in short windows of roughly 10 to 20 minutes, recurring periodically, and requests outside those windows are completing normally. Card authorizations and other API endpoints are not affected. The team is working to fully mitigate the issue.
We are continuing to work on a fix for this issue.
A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the situation.

We are seeing elevated 500 responses and increased latency on POST /v1/tokenizations/{tokenization_token}/deactivate for Mastercard tokenizations, beginning around 13:00 UTC.
