  1. investigating Nov 03, 2025, 04:47 PM UTC

    Some customer Self-Service Portal homepages were showing other customers' homepage content. Other pages (search, article, product pages) remained functional. Workaround: avoid the homepage. Append a language code, or add a query character such as ?, to force a fresh render.

  2. identified Nov 03, 2025, 05:07 PM UTC

    Root cause narrowed to CDN cache contamination triggered by a configuration rollback. The contamination affected homepage edge cache only.

  3. monitoring Nov 03, 2025, 05:10 PM UTC

    Self-Service Portal homepages are now returning correct content after cache purges. We are monitoring edge cache consistency and user reports for recurrence.

  4. resolved Nov 03, 2025, 06:43 PM UTC

    Duration: ~2h55m. Cause: CDN cache contamination of homepage caches. Impact limited to US and EU Self-service portal homepages. All systems normal.

    We are investigating reports of sign‑in failures in our US region. The first errors began at approximately 06:48 UTC. EU and CA regions remain healthy. We'll share more as we learn. Next update within 30 minutes.

  2. identified Oct 20, 2025, 07:24 AM UTC

    We have identified that the sign‑in failures correlate with a regional incident at our cloud infrastructure provider in their US‑East region. Customers served from our US region may see "incorrect password" messages or slow/failed requests. Our EU and CA regions remain healthy.

  3. identified Oct 20, 2025, 08:28 AM UTC

    The issue persists. Our cloud infrastructure provider continues to experience a region-wide incident in their US‑East region. We are actively working with the provider to reduce impact.

  4. monitoring Oct 20, 2025, 09:29 AM UTC

    US region services have returned to normal operation as of 09:22 UTC. This incident stemmed from a region‑wide issue at our cloud infrastructure provider and caused intermittent errors and latency across multiple US services. Impact window: 06:48-09:22 UTC (2 hours 34 minutes). No data was lost. EU and CA regions were not affected. Thank you for your patience.

  1. investigating Sep 10, 2025, 04:06 PM UTC

    Starting at 14:38 UTC, we observed a spike in SSO authentication failures. Affected users may be unable to sign in and see "access_denied (Unauthorized)" after returning from their IdP. We are actively investigating with our identity provider. Next update within 30 minutes.

  2. identified Sep 10, 2025, 04:26 PM UTC

    We have deployed a fix to our authentication flow at 16:15 UTC. Users should begin to see successful sign-ins resume across all regions. Please retry logging in; starting a new browser session (or incognito) may help clear a failed attempt. We’re closely monitoring error rates and will provide another update within 30 minutes.

  3. resolved Sep 10, 2025, 04:35 PM UTC

    SSO sign-ins have been restored. Between 14:38-16:27 UTC a configuration regression in our authentication layer caused the authorization code exchange to fail, resulting in "access_denied (Unauthorized)" after IdP login. We corrected the configuration and refreshed services; metrics show recovery across all regions.

Other platform areas like Agent Assist, Self-Service Portals, and Content Intelligence were unaffected. **Resolution:** The issue was identified and fully resolved by 16:03 UTC. All systems are now operating normally. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
