## Timeline of updates

- **investigating** 2024-03-22 07:11 UTC: We are investigating the crates.io website and API being unavailable. Downloads from recent Cargo versions should be working, but older Cargo releases relying on the crates.io API are affected.

- **monitoring** 2024-03-22 07:48 UTC: Since the last update, crates.io fully recovered and we are serving traffic as usual. We're continuing to monitor the situation and we'll re-enable the read-only replica again soon.
- **resolved** 2024-03-22 07:56 UTC: This incident has been resolved.
