We’ve resolved the issue causing authentication errors for valid tokens. Requests should now authenticate successfully.

Some API requests may still see higher than normal latency. We’re continuing to work on a permanent fix to bring performance fully back to normal.

The recent authentication errors were caused by data optimizations deployed yesterday as part of our ongoing efforts to improve platform performance. To mitigate the impact, we implemented several fixes, including temporary safeguards and additional changes to further stabilize the platform. Since releasing today’s fixes, we’ve seen a significant drop in error rates, and they continue to decline.

We’ll continue to monitor closely throughout the weekend, and next week we plan to roll out a more permanent solution to ensure long-term stability.
