Service degradation: Increased Error Rates
Resolved after 51 days 1 hour, affecting Service degradation: Increased Error Rates (global) and Service degradation: Increased Error Rates — global and 1 more, on March 1, 2026.
We continue to work toward restoring power in the affected Availability Zone in the ME-CENTRAL-1 Region (mec1-az2). In parallel, we are actively working on improving error rates and latencies that some customers are observing for EC2 Networking and EC2 Describe APIs. Due to increased demand in the unaffected Availability Zones, customers may experience longer than usual provisioning times or may need to retry requests for certain instance types, or pick an alternative instance type. We will provide an update by 10:30 AM PST, or sooner if we have additional information to share.
