**Summary:** 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. _(machine-written, sol)_
