    We’ve identified an issue affecting analytics queries (timeouts and/or failures). Dashboards, insights, and other query-driven views may be slow or unavailable.

  2. monitoring Sep 01, 2026, 04:02 AM UTC

    We've load-shed the traffic spikes and the latency has come down and the errors have decreased. Still investigating the potential culprits of the spike in the first place.
