## Timeline of updates

- **resolved** 2024-04-17 00:48 UTC: On April 16th, 2024, between 22:31 UTC and 00:11 UTC, Copilot chat users experienced elevated request errors. On average, the error rate was 1.2% and peaked at 5.2%. This was due to a rolling application upgrade applied to a backend system during a maintenance event. The incident was resolved once the rolling upgrade was completed. We are working to improve monitoring and alerting of our services, be more resilient to failures, and coordinate maintenance events to reduce our time to detection and mitigation of issues like this in the future.
