Resolved -
Our Engineering team has completed work to identify remaining emails impacted by this incident. At this time, there remains a small subset of emails not being delivered to users, including some billing emails like finalized invoices and billing threshold alerts, App Platform alerts, and DBaaS alerts. Multiple teams are working together to ensure that these emails are able to be sent out correctly and that work will continue.
At this time, we are going to resolve the incident due to critical email functionality being restored. If you have any concerns about the remaining emails impacted, or any questions about this incident, please open a support ticket from within your account.
Thank you for your patience throughout this process and we apologize for the extended disruption.
