Our engineering team is actively working to identify the root cause and restore normal service. We will share an update as soon as we have more information.

   The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented.

4. resolved Jul 23, 2026, 03:50 PM UTC

   An internal infrastructure issue affecting a backend system dependency in our Tokyo data center caused authentication failures that cascaded into request failures for the Audience API. Because Composer traffic for Asia (AP) and Australia (AU) routes through this instance, both regions saw failures of Composer requests. This incident has been resolved. Our engineering team identified the cause and restored the affected system; service has returned to normal in all regions. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
