  1. identified Nov 03, 2025, 06:24 PM UTC

    We are currently experiencing an issue that is causing validation errors during token creation. Additionally, our team has identified that a recent backfill task caused tokens created over five years ago to become invalid. We have deployed a fix to correct these token expirations and are running a backfill to update affected tokens. We are continuing to monitor the situation closely and will provide further updates as they become available. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
