## Timeline of updates

- **resolved** 2022-07-06 15:00 UTC: From approximately 15:00 to 15:08 UTC, Honeycomb's ingest API suffered a highly elevated error rate, resulting in most incoming data being dropped. You can expect to see this reflected in your own application's event data during this time period. This outage was caused by a database used for metadata storage becoming overloaded due to a code change that has been reverted.
