Looks like we’re in the clear! Folder counts, workflows, Beacon performance and other events across the app are back to normal and we don’t expect any further interruptions, so we’re closing this out.

Queues are still slowly clearing. Workflows and folder counts/views should be back to normal. We're keeping a close eye on things for a bit longer before closing this out. Very sorry for the trouble today!

Our team has pushed through a fix and our queues are clearing quickly! You can expect folder counts and workflow events from the past 30mins-1 hour to begin processing in your account. Everything should be back to normal very soon!
