    ### **Dates:** Wednesday October 30th 2023, 03:45 - 21:06 UTC ### **What happened:** Intermittent errors occurred when starting or using Sauce Connect tunnel in the US West datacenter. ### **Why it happened:** A service responsible for creating new bindings between the tunnel endpoints and test VMs experienced timeouts on some hosts. ### **How we fixed it:** Service was restored after clearing bindings on the affected hosts. ### **What we are doing to prevent it from happening again:** Monitoring and alerting for when the service is unable to create new bindings has been improved.
