From 13:33 PT to 17:50 PT on August 4, Poll Everywhere users were unable to login to new sessions. Existing login sessions were unaffected. We have implemented a long-term corrective that will stop this type of incident from happening in the future as of 22:40 PT on August 4. We are conducting an in-depth investigation and corrective actions to ensure that similar incidents do not occur.

v1.20.5 has been released to the store and the issue is resolved.

We received reports that participants responding to World Cloud and Q&A questions in Poll Everywhere 2.0 would occasionally receive errors when responding to questions multiple times. We've tracked down this issue to a change made on July 14th, and released a fix this morning.

From 3:52am PT to 5:08 PT, elevated error rates occurred on Poll Everywhere 2.0, with 0.007% of requests failing with 500 internal server errors. We're working on a long-term fix but the initial impact has subsided.

This issue, which was the result of an issue with WorkOS, our third-party service provider, has been resolved.

This incident has been resolved.

We've changed the self-healing and autoscaling system to be more tolerant of faults at the times that the system has increased load. We've confirmed that the system is functioning normally as of right now and believe the problem to be resolved in the long term.

We've discovered an automated monitoring issue that led automatic scaling to slow down certain user actions (like trashing polls) in 1.0. This issue is resolved, but we're looking into the root cause with the automatic monitoring system.

Some users when trying to login to Poll Everywhere 2.0 were redirected incorrectly resulting in a 404 page. The root cause has been resolved.

An automatic service update resulted in an outage for about 5 seconds, where approximately 80 requests failed. We have taken measures to prevent automatic service updates from creating this type of downtime in the future. Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions about this incident.

We have migrated to a comparable or equivalent model to the deprecated model. We will be taking further steps to understand this type of issue and prevent similar types of issues in the future. This issue started May 25, 2026 at midnight (i.e., 12:01am) PT.

A small number of customers may have encountered an error upgrading their plans as a result of a tax calculation issue. This issue has been resolved, but the upgrade process will not automatically retry to prevent erroneous charges. Please retry those upgrades. If you encounter any issues upgrading, please contact [email protected].

Live updates were delayed for ~14 minutes due to a deployment configuration error

A fix has been implemented. This incident was caused by a framework upgrade causing database timeouts in requests. During this outage, activation, poll creation / editing, as well as several other core features experienced disruption due to database requests timing out.
