Update – Partial Recovery Following AWS Outage

Our major service provider has gradually recovered from the earlier outage, and most previously affected Shorthand features are now operational.

However, we’re currently experiencing delays and rate throttling on media uploads due to the large volume of media being processed as services catch up.

We’re working closely with our provider to resolve this and restore normal performance as quickly as possible. We’ll continue to post updates as progress is made.

Thank you for your patience.
