   On July 18, 2026, between approximately 00:30 UTC and 04:00 UTC, users might have experienced 5xx errors while trying to create a new bucket in the Object Storage for the following endpoints. * [us-ord-1.linodeobjects.com](http://us-ord-1.linodeobjects.com) * [us-lax-1.linodeobjects.com](http://us-lax-1.linodeobjects.com) * [us-iad-1.linodeobjects.com](http://us-iad-1.linodeobjects.com) * [us-sea-1.linodeobjects.com](http://us-sea-1.linodeobjects.com) * [fr-par-1.linodeobjects.com](http://fr-par-1.linodeobjects.com) ‌The issue began when the infrastructure supporting Object Storage entered a degraded state across all nodes. This prevented the service from processing requests, resulting in failures during bucket creation operations. ‌To mitigate the impact, we have applied a fix at the backend system responsible for bucket creation. The impact was mitigated following this action. ‌Our subject matter experts are investigating the root cause and will take appropriate preventive actions. ‌We apologize for the impact and appreciate your patience and ongoing support. We are making configuration and operational changes to our systems to help prevent this from happening again, and remain committed to continuous improvement. ‌This summary provides an overview of our current understanding of the incident, given the information available. Our investigation is ongoing, and any information herein is subject to change.
