Update timeline
- identified Oct 01, 2026, 01:56 AM UTC
We have identified the cause of the issue affecting activity data in the live US environment. The affected services have stabilized, and our systems are steadily working through the backlog. Recovery is progressing, but not yet complete. Activity data for the live environment is still delayed while this clears. Once processing resumes, we expect the delayed data to catch up automatically. No data loss is expected, as delayed events are being retried and will be processed. We will post another update once activity processing has returned to normal.
