- resolved Apr 30, 2026, 06:03 PM UTC
We have seen no further reports of latency or timeouts, and our internal testing confirms that performance remains stable. We are now officially marking this incident as Resolved. Root Cause: The issue was triggered by a high-volume surge of API requests from a third-party data tool. This created an unexpected load on our database, specifically impacting the ticket queue and reporting sections. Prevention: To prevent a recurrence, we have implemented new traffic controls and rate-limiting measures. We will continue to monitor these systems to ensure long-term stability. If you are still experiencing any issues, please let our team know at [email protected].
