Summary

From approximately 4:11 PM PDT to 4:13 PM PDT on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, some users experienced issues with essential functions like loading, connecting, and sending messages in Slack. A recent backend change was intended to improve traffic and error handling. However, an unexpected configuration change during the rollout led to a temporary spike in connection errors. We observed automatic recovery from the configuration change, which restored functionality to affected users. However, we reverted the problematic code that initially caused the issue.
