We are currently running a database vacuum process to optimize performance following the rollback. This process helps reclaim storage, refresh database statistics, and improve overall query performance after the earlier maintenance and restart activities.

At this time, system performance is stable, and the platform is operating normally across all core services. We are not observing any ongoing impact on customer workflows.

Our engineering team continues to closely monitor the environment, reviewing performance metrics and system health indicators to ensure sustained stability and proactively address any anomalies that arise.

We are continuing to work on a fix for this issue.

The rollback has been successfully completed, and the platform is up.

However, we are still experiencing performance degradation in certain areas, and some users may encounter slowness. Our engineering team is actively investigating and working to fully restore system performance.

We will continue to provide updates as we make progress.

We are currently investigating a production issue that may be related to a database maintenance activity performed on Saturday during off-hours.

As part of our mitigation efforts, we are reverting the recent change. This action will require restarting the production database, which may result in a brief service disruption of a few minutes.

We will provide an additional update once the restart is complete and the system is fully stabilized.

Thank you for your patience.
