We have applied a fix and are beginning to see service restoration. Background event processing is resuming, but it will take some time for queued events to be processed and for all services to return to normal. Our team is actively monitoring progress as the backlog is cleared. We will provide another update once processing has fully recovered and the incident has been resolved.
