Update timeline
- identified Jul 01, 2026, 04:56 PM UTC
We have identified the root cause of the ongoing issue affecting our **Pricing APIs**. Since **26 Jun 2026**, some partners experienced failures when attempting to look up a quote by reference or create an insurance policy after a successful pricing call. The API returned an error indicating the quote reference could not be found, even when it had been successfully generated moments earlier. This was caused by **an unexpected failure in one of our internal backend processing components**, which resulted in significant delays in quote recording. No quote data has been lost; all quotes are being processed, with delays. Corrective actions have been deployed to restore normal processing and improve the resilience of the affected component. We are closely monitoring the service. **Quote lookup delays of several hours are still currently being observed.** - **Detection time:** 08:05 (GMT+2), 26 Jun 2026 - **Identification time:** 29 Jun 2026 - **Impacted services:** Pricing APIs – Quote Lookup (getPrice by QuoteReference) / Policy Creation - **Status:** Fix deployed — residual delays of several hours under active monitoring We will provide a further update by **19:54 (GMT+2), 01 Jul 2026** at the latest. We sincerely apologize for the continued disruption to your operations.
