Update timeline

  1. monitoring Oct 08, 2025, 07:52 AM UTC

    We are seeing an increase in 500 error responses from Apple's App Store server APIs. To prevent this from impacting customers, we have enabled an outage mode that grants a temporary short-lived entitlement when a purchase is unable to be validated due to a 500 error from Apple. Once the error rate returns to normal, we'll disable the outage mode mitigation.

  2. monitoring Oct 08, 2025, 07:52 AM UTC

    We are continuing to monitor for any further issues.

  3. resolved Oct 08, 2025, 01:22 PM UTC

    We haven't seen any errors for about two hours now. All the impacted receipts have been replayed so there is no customer impact.
