Render: Incident silently edited: Issues affecting connections to a subset of Postgres Databases
Render edited its 11-05 20:12 UTC update to clarify that a configuration change affected a small subset of Postgres instances, causing connection failures for some databases using self managed PgBouncer. The update now says scram-sha-256 encryption will remediate failures, rather than may help, and no corrective action is needed if connections show no issues.

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.

Issues affecting connections to a subset of Postgres Databases
Render narrowed the incident title to a subset of Postgres Databases and changed “some databases” to “a subset” in its 11-05 20:12 UTC update. This wording-only edit leaves the stated cause and remediation unchanged: a Postgres connection-settings change caused failures through self managed PgBouncer; using scram-sha-256 encryption can help.
