Help Desk API, Mobile API Issues and Connection Errors

Incident Report for Help Scout

Resolved

Performance is stable across the board, so we're closing this out. Email queues are just about empty and processing messages in a timely manner, as expected. We're still looking at the root cause along with changes we can make to prevent this from happening again. We're very sorry for the downtime today.

All services have stabilized, but we're still processing emails that were sent and received during the outage. You might see a handful of new email arrive all at once as we empty the email queues. We'll leave this incident open for a few more minutes as we continue to monitor things behind the scenes.
