As a result of the earlier outage at Amazon Web Services, a large number of currency symbols are temporarily showing as unavailable in our API. We believe this is related to a cache failover event that occurred as a result of the AWS incident. We are working to restore full service and will post further updates to our status page as soon as we have any updates.

A fix was implemented at 13:55 GMT to temporarily redirect traffic away from the affected AWS resources. We are monitoring the results and carrying out further tests.

Please note that clients may continue to experience degraded performance until the issue is fully resolved. We will provide further updates in due course, or in the event of any further incident.

We are working hard to resolve this connectivity issue, which we believe was caused by a power failure reported by Amazon Web Services in their us-east region. We will continue to update our status page as often as possible to keep you informed on our progress.

We are continuing to investigate this outage, which we believe may be connected to a wider service interruption at AWS (Amazon Web Services). Thank you for your patience.
