We are aware that earlier today, Wednesday 5th August, at roughly 9am UTC, there was a temporary issue that impacted the publishing success rates of Pinterest. It does appear that this was an issue directly with Pinterest's API, and it was a transient issue that recovered by 9:50am UTC. Publishing success for posts from Buffer to Pinterest are back to normal levels now.
