The repeat occurrence this morning began at 07:35 UTC, after which a small number of currencies appeared as unavailable in our service, and it was resolved again by 07:55 UTC. The API has been operational since this time. However, clients are advised that our incident response is still in progress, and we are continuing to work on full remediation. Although we are working hard to avoid any further disruption in service, it is possible that the API may experience further performance issues over the next 48 hours, while we implement our solution. Please stand by for further updates.
