US Production slowness / issues today (October 17, 2024)
(October 18, 2024)
Today we experienced a slowdown and a few related issues in our US Hosted Production environment. Starting last night (Oct. 16), there were some delays in updated or changed data showing up in search results, which may have shown up as dashboards or other reports taking longer to reflect new data than normal. Then, users may have experienced intermittent slowness and/or errors between 10:15am-10:40am CT. Both of these issues were fully resolved as of 10:45am CT and appear to be caused by an unexpected impact of part of the software maintenance completed yesterday on US Production servers we previously announced.
We sincerely apologize for the slowness and impacts to operations earlier today. We are still investigating, but with the actions taken today, we do not expect a recurrence of this issue, and we will do everything we can to prevent a similar issue in the future.
