Slack free plan users were unable to send messages for approximately 6.4 hours after a feature toggle ramp-up caused an app integration to enter a processing loop, generating billions of messages and pushing affected workspaces over their messaging volume threshold. This triggered unexpected message-sending blocks across free plan teams. The root cause was identified and a fix was deployed, with Slack actively monitoring the environment to confirm full restoration.
We're aware that some customers on our free plan are experiencing message-sending limit blocks in an unusual spike pattern, which is preventing them from sending messages. We're investigating why this message limit was triggered unexpectedly for some teams. If you're affected, you may be temporarily unable to send messages until this is resolved.
We'll provide an update in 30 minutes or sooner if additional information becomes available.
