**Summary** On March 26, 2026, between approximately 13:00 and 14:15 UTC, the Printix EU service again experienced slow performance. Although symptoms were similar to the previous day's incident, the root cause was different. **Root Cause** The incident was caused by a period of unusually high database activity. Certain operations generated long-running queries that exceeded the database's processing capacity, leading to degraded performance and temporary service slowness. **Resolution** Our Operations team identified the source of the excessive database load and took immediate action to restore normal operation. The incident was resolved at approximately 14:15 UTC. **Preventive Measures** Product-level changes are being evaluated to introduce safeguards against operations that could place excessive load on shared infrastructure. Enhanced monitoring for unusual usage patterns and database load is also being implemented.
