Outage Details

Between 18:34 and 19:12 UTC, customers may have experienced delays or failures when attempting to create shipping labels. The issue was caused by a spike in database CPU usage, triggered by inefficient queries on a recently modified internal table related to shipment insurance. The relevant database index was missing, which led to significant performance degradation. We have taken corrective action and restored the missing index. Label creation has returned to normal performance. We are auditing related schema changes and improving safeguards to prevent this issue from recurring.
