Update

We are continuing to investigate the recent service instability. As part of our remediation work, our Cloud Platform team has moved the affected service onto new infrastructure, upgrading it to a higher‑capacity plan with increased memory. While this change has not fully resolved the issue, it has improved overall stability and performance.

Our engineering teams are actively continuing their investigation to identify the root cause and implement a permanent fix. We will provide further updates as more information becomes available.
