Resolved after 2 hours 11 minutes, affecting Travel, on May 20, 2025.
In the Concur Cloud for Public Sector Data Center, travel bookings were below expected levels. Concur Travel and Expense users may have experienced latency when attempting to perform travel searches or book travel. Additionally, affected users may have experienced an error, “We’re sorry. We encountered an issue that prevented us from completing your request” when attempting to perform tasks. ConcurGov users may have experienced latency when attempting to perform travel searches or book travel. Additionally, affected users may have intermittently experienced an error, “We’re sorry. We encountered an issue that prevented us from completing your request” when attempting to perform tasks. It may have been possible to perform searches and travel bookings by performing multiple attempts. A scheduled process involved in the completion of travel bookings suffered unexpected performance issues intermittently impacting response time for travel searches and bookings. The issue has been mitigated by increasing compute capacity. Engineering has narrowed the root cause to the code path experiencing issues and timeout failures. The team will work on optimizations to improve performance. Corrective Actions: The following corrective actions were identified: - Increase the minimum number of instances to use for running the scheduled process. - Adjust the auto-scaling of the instances to be more aggressive in scaling up. - Migrated to newer cloud hardware to improve performance of the instances. - The preventative action is to migrate the scheduled jobs to run on their own instances to prevent blocking travel searches.
