## Updates from Railway
### 2026-09-29 15:29 UTC: investigating
We are aware of an issue affecting our API that is causing slow or stuck deployments for some users.
We are actively investigating and working to restore normal operations. We will provide updates as we learn more.

### 2026-09-29 18:37 UTC: monitoring
We are seeing recovery and are monitoring this incident.
Hobby deployments have been re-enabled.

### 2026-09-29 19:15 UTC: resolved
The issue affecting our API and causing slow or stuck deployments has been resolved. A period of elevated load on our API caused a backlog to build in our deployment queue faster than it could drain. We applied several fixes to improve how our deployment system handles backpressure and temporarily paused new deployments for Hobby-tier projects while the queue recovered. All deployments have since resumed and are processing normally.
We apologize for any inconvenience. If you continue to experience issues, please contact support at https://station.railway.com.
