crates.io: Delays in sparse index updates
Affected components: crates.io
Timeline of updates
- identified
We're seeing crate publishes being reflected in the sparse index with a large delay, since 07:30:00 UTC. We have identified the root cause of the problem (the crates.io application being rate limited by a third party service due to a large volume of yanks), and we're working to process the backlog of publishes.
- resolved
The backlog of updates to the sparse index has been processed.
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.
How the archive is checked, and what it cannot prove.
This incident predates live tracking (October 17, 2026). It came from the vendor’s own published history, which is not covered by checkpoints.
Impact, status and times are the vendor’s own, as last archived. View on stspg.io (opens in new tab).
