Summary

Minor · No longer listed as active

Current status: Our third-party cloud platform provider has completed their fix for the underlying issue at 20:45 UTC October 29, 2026. Our earlier mitigation actions had already addressed the majority of customer impact as of 08:40 UTC October 29, 2026. With the provider's fix in place, we've reversed those temporary mitigation actions and confirmed that we are back to pre-incident configurations at 23:05 UTC October 29, 2026. We'll continue to monitor the environment until we're confident all services are functioning properly. Customer experience: Customers hosted in the specified regions may have experienced delays or intermittent failures when resuming or managing virtual warehouses. Existing warehouses that were already running may have been unaffected. Additionally, serverless tasks may have taken longer than expected to begin. Following our mitigation actions, we aren't currently observing any ongoing customer impact. Impact start time: 03:00 UTC October 29, 2026 Impact end time: 08:40 UTC October 29, 2026 Preliminary root cause: A third-party cloud platform provider experienced an issue that slowed responses to resource provisioning requests, which delayed virtual warehouse resumes.
