We have identified that this issue was likely due to upstream congestion related to unexpected maintenance on subsea cables. The impact was primarily observed when requests from outside the APAC region were routed to origins in the APAC region, and when requests from the APAC region were routed to origins outside the region. We are working with the upstream ISP(s) to gather additional details.Based on our current observations, the service is resuming normal operations.
