[Piano Audience] User Profiles Update Backend Processing Delays

Update timeline

1. identified Jul 20, 2026, 08:36 PM UTC

   We are observing data processing delays on the User profile backend caused by data improvement efforts for managing the cx prefix and the composer application ID. If you are using the cxense's external profile update API (https://api.cxense.com/profile/user/external/update) you will observe 1-2 hours of delays when reading the same profile using (https://api.cxense.com/profile/user/external/update). Our team is now reconciling the data back into a single, correct view, and this reconciliation is the source of the ongoing delay. No data has been lost, all events are being processed, currently with an approximate delay of 1–2 hours. We apologize for the inconvenience and will share an update as the backlog clear

Our team is carefully increasing processing throughput while closely monitoring overall system stability to avoid introducing further issues. We are optimistic about stabilizing the situation soon and will share an update as soon as we have more information.
