Wait step in automations having degraded performance
Incident Lifecycle
Incident Timeline
Monitoring
We've identified the cause of the issue affecting wait steps in automations.
A rapid spike in automation activity outpaced our infrastructure's autoscaling response, leading to a temporary processing backlog. Our systems have since scaled to meet demand and the backlog is expected to clear completely in 30mins.
