What changed
Struck in red is what Snowflake removed; blue is what they added. Muted text is unchanged context.
Before: not present
After: Current status: Virtual warehouse capacity and provisioning have remained stable, and we do not expect further broad risk to customer workloads, but we will continue monitoring through periods of peak demand.
Snowpark Container Services (SPCS) remains subject to capacity constraints. We continue to preserve available resources, coordinate with our third-party cloud provider, and work on additional capacity options. We have seen improvement, but workloads that require additional new capacity may still be affected. We continue to target late October before considering the SPCS impact mitigated, subject to sustained resource availability and service readiness.
We will provide another update within seven days, or sooner if there is a significant change.
Customer experience: Customers using virtual warehouses should no longer experience the broader provisioning impact associated with this incident. Customers with continuing or customer-specific reliability issues should contact Snowflake Support for assistance.
Customers using Snowpark Container Services may still encounter delays, timeouts, or failures when starting or resuming Notebooks, provisioning or resuming compute pools, or setting up OpenFlow runtimes. The remaining risk is concentrated in workloads that require additional new capacity; existing workloads generally continue to run normally.
ETA: We have seen sustained stability in virtual warehouse capacity and provisioning since October 7, 2026. For Snowpark Container Services, we continue to target late October for mitigation as additional capacity and service readiness are validated. We will provide an updated ETA if that timeline changes.
Workaround: For virtual warehouses, we are no longer recommending a broad migration to Gen1 as a workaround for this incident. Customers who previously moved affected warehouses to Gen1 may work with Snowflake Support or their account team to evaluate returning to Gen2.
There is currently no general workaround for Snowpark Container Services compute pool impact; customers experiencing specific failures should contact Snowflake Support.
Impact start time: 08:41 UTC August 09, 2026
Preliminary root cause: A third-party cloud platform is experiencing constrained compute capacity in the specified region, limiting the availability of compute resources for Snowpark Container Services and causing delays or failures when provisioning or resuming virtual warehouses.
Before: not present
After: Current status: We continue to see stable virtual warehouse performance and consider the impact mitigated. Additional information about virtual warehouse impact is available in previous updates.
Snowpark Container Services continues to show improvement. We expect to receive additional capacity within the next several days and will validate service readiness as it becomes available. Until then, workloads that require new or resumed capacity may remain affected.
We will provide another update within seven days, or sooner if there is a significant change.
Customer experience: Customers using Snowpark Container Services may still experience delays, timeouts, or failures when starting or resuming Notebooks, provisioning or resuming compute pools, or setting up OpenFlow runtimes. Existing workloads generally continue to run normally; the remaining risk is concentrated in workloads that require new or resumed capacity.
ETA: We expect additional capacity within the next several days. We will validate service readiness before confirming mitigation and provide an updated ETA if that expectation changes.
Workaround: Customers running Notebooks may continue using a warehouse-based runtime where feasible. There is no general workaround for Snowpark Container Services compute-pool capacity issues; customers experiencing specific failures should contact Snowflake Support.

Archive proof
Rewindex commits each version of an incident it captures to a daily checkpoint, chains it to the day before, and has the checkpoint timestamped by FreeTSA and DigiCert. That proves these records existed by then and have not been changed since, by anyone, Rewindex included.
