Major outage

Events server stopped accepting connections

Began 11 Aug 2026, 18:42 UTC · Recovered 6 days ago

Affected: events

  1. Investigating

    The live connection is refusing new clients. Messages already sent are safe and nothing has been lost, but apps will not receive anything new until this is fixed, and reopening the app will not help.

  2. Identified

    The events service had stopped answering its health path while still holding its port, so the proxy kept handing it connections it would not take. Restarting it restores service; we are looking at why it wedged.

  3. Resolved

    Connections have been accepted normally for the last twenty minutes. Total time affected was 78 minutes.

The monitor caught this one; the explanation is here because a monitor cannot give one.
