Incident Report, March 19, 2026 Impact: A service disruption affected inbound and outbound call reliability on the Daily and Weekly channel. Some calls failed to connect with transport-never-connected, worker-not-available, worker-died, and deepgram-transcriber-failed end reasons. Timeline (all times PDT): 12:20 PM We detected elevated call failure rates on the Weekly production cluster. 12:22 PM We published a status page incident and began investigating. 12:25 PM We identified the trigger as an unanticipated surge in call volume that exceeded our provisioned cluster capacity and downstream rate limits with a model provider. 12:30 PM We applied traffic controls and began working with the model provider to increase capacity. Call failures began declining. 1:40 PM Call success rates returned to normal and held stable. First incident window closed. ~4:00 PM A separate traffic spike re-triggered infrastructure constraints, leading to elevated failures. We began investigating immediately. 4:00 PM to 4:40 PM We rebalanced traffic and migrated affected workloads to dedicated infrastructure to restore headroom on shared clusters. 4:50 PM All mitigations took effect. Call success rates returned to normal. 4:50 PM to 8:10 PM We continued active monitoring. No further failures observed. 8:10 PM Second incident window closed. Immediate Action Items: Improve workload isolation and per-account capacity guardrails to prevent resource contention from cascading across the platform. Note: A full root cause analysis is underway and will be available upon request. We sincerely apologize for the disruption and thank you for your patience.
