After: We're aware of an issue that impacted multiple instances across all regions. Customers experienced severe delays, intermittent errors, or an inability to access some services. Some customers were also unable to submit new support cases through the Help portal.
One of our core system components experienced increased load, which limited its capacity to process requests. We also checked with our third-party infrastructure provider, who confirmed there were no issues on their end.
We rolled out a fix that resolved the issue and fully restored services.
