    We are continuing to investigate this issue.

  3. identified Nov 05, 2026, 02:15 PM UTC

    We have identified the cause of the elevated errors and slow responses affecting transactions through our gateway API and transaction processing. An unusually high volume of automated traffic targeted one of our endpoints. We put a first measure in place to stop this traffic. We are adding more protections and watching transaction processing as it recovers. Some requests may still time out or fail during this period.

  4. monitoring Nov 05, 2026, 02:17 PM UTC

    A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results.

  5. resolved Nov 05, 2026, 03:00 PM UTC
