Incident Summary
Description:
We encountered an issue where PayPal connectors started failing due to an API rate limit issue
Timeline:
The issue started on Aug 03, 2025, at 08:30 UTC and was resolved on Aug 03, 2025, at 15:19 UTC
Cause:
The issue was caused due to sustained rate limiting from the source API endpoint (/v1/reporting/transactions) for all transaction-related tables (e.g, TRANSACTION and BALANCE).
Resolution:
We have initially disabled the balance endpoint to fix the issue. Later, we re-enabled the balance endpoint and added a logic to handle the rate limit more gracefully (Using ProActive Rate Limit and rescheduling the sync for 1 hour when rate limits are encountered) in order to resolve the issue.
We have raised a fix to disable the affected endpoint "Balance" and we are monitoring the results.
We have identified that the the failures are occurring on transaction-related tables (TRANSACTION, BALANCE, INCENTIVE, etc.) due to persistent rate limiting from the PayPal API endpoint /v1/reporting/transactions.
