An incorrect deployment to the backend code was made which caused new messages to be stored in our database in a format incompatible with some other components. As soon as the problem was noticed the change was rolled back, but the already-stored messages caused problems for the users that received those messages. This also affected our network monitors for teams, which caused our backend system to identify a number of monitors as not having been updated properly and then send out false alerts. An update mechanism had to be created to identify and re-encode all of those stored messages which took some time to create, test, and deploy. As of 18:00 CDT, all such messages have been re-encoded and sent out, restoring service for those affected users.
