We've identified a specific configuration change that started deployment at approximately the same time we received the initial reports of impact. Out of an abundance of caution, we're reverting the update as a potential mitigation strategy. Additionally, we're continuing to analyze network traces, authentication flows and Content Delivery Network (CDN) interactions to determine the root cause.
