Incident
Some users may be experiencing issues with huddles
Issue Summary:
On November 8, 2023 from 7:55 AM PT until 8:27 PM PT, a small number of users experienced errors when attempting to join or start huddles.
We traced this back to an unexpected spike in a database load for which we quickly saw recovery.
We monitored the situation closely and in an effort to prevent further unexpected error spikes, we implemented a strategic configuration adjustment to optimize the load on our database.
Affected users should no longer experience issues with huddles.
1:42 PM PST
This issue is now resolved and users should no longer encounter issues in huddles. We apologize for any disruption this brought to your day.
12:19 PM PST
We're continuing to work towards a fix, and will provide updates here when new information becomes available.
We appreciate your patience in the meantime.
9:18 AM PST
Some users may be experiencing trouble with huddles.
We’re investigating and will let you know as soon as we know more. We appreciate your patience in the meantime.

Issues with user status, read state, and file previews
Issue summary:
From 10:00 PM PST on November 7, 2023 to 1:15 PM PST on November 8, 2023, some users experienced issues with their user status not updating, removing previews, and being unable to mark channels as read. Some keyboard shortcuts were also affected and were unable to be used.
We determined that a recent code change was the root cause for the unexpected behaviour with these features.
To restore functionality, we reverted the related code. We then did some additional testing and monitoring to confirm all issues were fully resolved and Slack was operating as expected.
8:29 PM PST
We have made another change that has restored functionality to user statuses. Users should refresh if they do not see this change, but all issues should now be resolved.
3:50 PM PST
Thank you for your patience! We have made a change that restored functionality to keyboard shortcuts, marking items as read, and dismissing app previews. Users should no longer have issues with those features but may need to refresh their app or browser.
We are still investigating the issues related to user statuses and will share updates as new information becomes available.
1:48 PM PST
We've isolated the issue with keyboard shortcuts, marking items as read, and dismissing app previews. We are working to restore functionality, but continue investigating the root cause for user status not updating.
12:44 PM PST
No additional news to share just yet, but we’re focused on getting things back to normal as quickly as we can. We apologize for the continued trouble.
12:21 PM PST
We've discovered that this issue also impacts keyboard shortcuts such as "Cmd/Ctrl + K" or "Cmd/Ctrl + F". The root cause of this issue is not yet clear, but we're continuing to investigate this as a top priority. We'll be back with another update as soon as we have any new information to share. Thank you for continuing to bear with us.
11:45 AM PST
No additional news to share just yet, but we're focused on getting things back to normal as quickly as we can. We apologize for the continued trouble.
11:17 AM PST
We’re looking into reports of user status not updating, users being unable to remove previews, and marking channels as read. We’ll let you know as we learn more. Thank you for bearing with us in the meantime.
