    We are aware of an unexpected increase in the number of new investigations being created, starting at 11:00 AM UTC. This was caused by a configuration error that briefly re-enabled a set of legacy detections. We have since disabled these detections and are working to identify and mitigate the impact on user dashboards.This issue impacts SIEM and Services customers.
