Cloudflare are currently experiencing global network issues, which are affecting services across the internet. This may cause intermittent disruption. We’re monitoring the situation and will provide updates as Cloudflare restores normal service.
Unfortunately, Cloudflare continue to experience global network issues, affecting significant parts of the internet and including services such as AWS, PayPal, Visa, BT & Sage. Thank you for your patience - whilst this issue is unfortunately beyond SchemeServe's control, we will keep you informed as we are monitoring the situation closely.
Cloudflare have resolved the global network issue. Services are now fully restored and operating normally. Thank you for your patience.
On 18 November 2025, a global network incident at Cloudflare caused a service outage across multiple platforms, including SchemeServe. The root cause was a permissions-related configuration change that triggered propagation of an oversized data file, leading to widespread HTTP 5xx errors. We sincerely apologise for the disruption. Normal service has now been fully restored, and Cloudflare has published a full incident report at: [Cloudflare blog](https://blog.cloudflare.com/18-november-2025-outage/?utm_source=chatgpt.com). We are reviewing our continuity and monitoring measures to minimise the risk of similar external-dependency issues in future.
Some users may experience issues with email and SMS deliverability. This is due to an outage of AWS, and we are continuing to monitor the situation.

On Friday between 16:09 and 16:30 BST, some users briefly experienced issues accessing policy answers data. The cause was a search index update that didn’t complete as expected. This update had recently been moved to a scheduled process to improve predictability and stability. Our team identified and resolved the issue quickly, restoring full access within 20 minutes. The process has since been reviewed and refined to further strengthen resilience. This update was low-risk and had been fully tested in non-production environments with no adverse effects. Services are now operating normally.
We are currently investigating an issue when multifactor authentication is triggering for each login, even when then "remember this device" option had been selected. For further updates please see https://status.schemeserve.com/
This incident has been resolved.
Following a release of an update some users may have been unable to access some areas of SchemeServe, this has been rolled back while we investigate.
During the deployment a part of the process did not execute correctly resulting in a badly formatted database column. This has now been rectified, and the database column is now in place and verified.
We are aware of an issue where some users are experiencing intermittent timeout errors, 2FA delays, or being returned to the login screen. This is being investigated as a matter of urgency, for further updates please see https://status.schemeserve.com/
