Update timeline

  1. investigating Jun 06, 2026, 09:24 PM UTC

    There appears to be an issue with our Elasticsearch cluster that is causing the instance to fail. We are currently investigating the issue.

  2. identified Jun 06, 2026, 09:46 PM UTC

    The issue seems to be incredibly high timeouts on Hetzner volumes, causing components with high-throughput volumes like Elasticsearch to degrade and fail. Search has temporarily been disabled while we investigate this issue and attempt to work around it.

  3. monitoring Jun 06, 2026, 10:26 PM UTC

    Search functionality has been restored and volume timeouts seem to have been fixed. We will continue to monitor the situation.
