Summary: We are investigating a potential issue with routing products

Description: After further investigation, we found that a service backend out of South America was resource constrained during increased traffic to the service. During this period of overload, a portion of the traffic spilled over temporarily into North American data centers, resulting in increased error rates and possible latency there as well.

Our Engineering team have identified a few key mitigations including increasing capacity in the impacted backends. This work is underway by our Engineering team and we will follow up as soon as there is more to share.

We will provide an update by Monday, 2025-09-29 12:30 US/Pacific.

Diagnosis: Reduced API availability

Workaround: None at this time.
