  3. resolved Mar 03, 2026, 02:04 PM UTC

    The error rates have come back and stayed within typical levels. The issue was caused by the application keeping TCP connections in a non-closed state, exhausting resources. After restarting some backend services those connections were flushed and the issue resolved.
