Outage Details

We're investigating an issue with freshness checks in schema yaml files causing jobs to fail. Due to some recent changes, incorrect model freshness configurations which were previously ignored, are now getting validated and throwing errors, resulting in failed runs. This is impacting Jobs in all tenancies. The team is working on a resolution/rollback and we will provide updates at approximately 30 minutes intervals or as soon as new information becomes available.
