On November 23rd–24th, 2025, some customers experienced errors when using PlayFab’s Plan Recommendation and Pricing Sync features. The incident was caused by an authentication issue in a billing service component, which disrupted several related services. We resolved the issue by updating the connection logic for our data service. ### Impact Customers were unable to access plan recommendations and update workflows. The issue was detected by our monitoring systems and reported by customers. ### Root Cause Analysis The authentication errors were triggered by changes in the underlying .Net version, which affected how a billing service component connected to our data service. ### Resolution We updated the connection logic for the billing service component, restoring normal operation and notifying affected customers. ### Action Items * Improved the connection logic for our data service in the affected billing service component. * Enhanced monitoring to detect authentication issues earlier.
