The effects of this incident have completely passed through the system and all traffic is operating normally. This incident has been resolved. In addition to the previously described expected error codes of Validity Period Expired (30036) and Twilio Internal Error (30500), a large portion of affected messages were finalized to a Failed status (note Failed not Undelivered) with error code 30008 (Unknown Error).

We continue monitoring remaining queued messages. Overall, the system has reached a normal steady state; Now, most messages are sending without any additional queueing delay. However, individual customers may see messages remaining in queues due to large numbers of messages enqueued during this incident. We expect any messages delayed during this incident to have fully propagated through to a final status over the course of the next several hours. Note that we expect that some messages will eventually timeout and fail due to Validity Period Expired (error code 30036), others may eventually fail due to a Twilio Internal Error (error code 30500).
We will provide an update in 8 hours or as soon as more information becomes available.
