- investigating Apr 19, 2026, 11:10 PM UTC
Status: Investigating Due to a third party outage, we are investigating an outage causing failures for chatbot users attempting to add new knowledge sources that require web-scraped knowledge sources. Existing knowledge sources for Chatbots remain functional. Agents executions do not crash, or get marked as failed, but users may get a bad response when web browsing/scraping. There are not user facing errors for this behaviour. Main error periods: 19:18–19:35 UTC and 21:35–22:32 UTC. Errors began around 19:19UTC, and subsided after 22:32 UTC, and monitoring shows no new failures.
