The processing is back to normal levels and environments are not presenting any latency with file scoring.

IDENTIFIED over 2 years ago - at 01/11/2023 07:37PM

We've identified an issue with our scaling policies that resulted in a backup of content in our processing queues and caused a delay in processing time for new content and courses.

We have increased our scaling capacity in the short term to bring processing back to normal levels and additional alarms are being added as an additional safeguard. The team will be monitoring this going forward to ensure we do not see any additional spikes, but content processing is currently catching back up to get through the existing backlog of items through the peak daily period.

We expect processing to return to normal levels over the next few hours and into the evening (US EST). We will confirm a final resolution once the backlog is cleared.
