Resolved after 1 hour 23 minutes, affecting US East / Virginia and Asia Pacific / Tokyo, on October 20, 2025.

postmortem Oct 22, 2025, 07:31 AM UTC

On October 20, some customers across all regions experienced issues logging in using external Identity Providers \(IdPs\), receiving an error or not being redirected to complete authentication. A temporary workaround was provided while the root cause, a faulty service version introduced in recent updates, was identified and reverted. The issue was fully resolved on October 20 at 18:15 UTC, restoring normal login functionality for all customers. The incident duration was extended due to an unrelated AWS outage that impacted service rollback times. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we restored full functionality.
