**INC20000129 – Snowflake Virtual Warehouse Management Outage** On August 3, 2026, a Cloud Services component responsible for virtual warehouse management became unhealthy, preventing customers in affected regions from starting, resuming, or managing virtual warehouses across two impact windows: 13:33–15:20 UTC and 16:05–16:36 UTC. Already-running warehouses were unaffected, but customers experienced stuck warehouses, queued or delayed queries, and some serverless task failures and residual backlogs. Snowflake applied mitigations across both recurrence windows and confirmed full resolution by 16:36 UTC, with a root cause analysis to follow within five business days.

Current status: We've confirmed that this issue has been resolved, and we have monitored the environment to confirm that the affected functionality is now working as expected. If you experience additional issues or have questions, please open a support case via Snowflake Community or the Support page in Snowsight.
Customer experience: Customers hosted in the specified region may have been unable to start, resume, or manage virtual warehouses. The impact occurred during the periods of 13:33 to 15:20 UTC, and 16:05 to 16:36 UTC on August 03, 2026. Virtual warehouses may have appeared as stuck in the associated state. Existing warehouses that were already running may have been unaffected. Customers may also have seen queued or delayed queries for workloads running on affected warehouses. Additionally, some serverless tasks may have experienced residual queuing or failures until the backlog of requests which accumulated during the impact windows was processed.

Preliminary root cause: A Cloud Services component responsible for virtual warehouse management became unhealthy. This caused failures in the internal workflows used to allocate and manage compute resources for warehouse start and resume operations, resulting in customer impact.
A root cause analysis (RCA) will be conducted and a summary will be shared on the Snowflake status page within 5 business days.
Current status: We've confirmed that our service has remained stable since 16:35 UTC, following our mitigation action; however, we're continuing to monitor the environment to confirm that the affected functionality continues to work as expected.
Customer experience: Customers hosted in the specified region may have been unable to start, resume, or manage virtual warehouses.

Preliminary root cause: A Cloud Services component responsible for virtual warehouse management became unhealthy. This caused failures in the internal workflows used to allocate and manage compute resources for warehouse start and resume operations, resulting in customer impact.
Current status: We have identified that the previously affected Cloud Services component became unhealthy again, which is preventing virtual warehouses from starting or resuming. We've implemented an additional fix and we're continuing to monitor to confirm that we have fully recovered. We'll provide another update within 60 minutes.
Customer experience: Customers hosted in the specified region may be unable to start, resume, or manage virtual warehouses. Virtual warehouses may appear as stuck in the associated state. Existing warehouses that were already running may be unaffected. Customers may also see queued or delayed queries for workloads running on affected warehouses.
