- identified Oct 20, 2026, 11:58 AM UTC
Our network provider has identified the root cause of the issue affecting network stability and impacting a subset of our services. The issue has been traced to a cable break within the provider's network infrastructure, and repair work is currently underway. While one network connection was impacted by the cable break, connectivity remains available through a secondary connection. We have successfully mitigated the service impact, and message traffic is currently flowing normally with no significant queue build-up observed. The vast majority of messages are being processed successfully. We continue to monitor the situation closely and remain in regular contact with our network provider throughout the recovery process. We will provide further updates as additional information becomes available. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this incident may have caused and appreciate your patience and understanding.
