## Updates from AssemblyAI
### 2026-03-06 19:04 UTC: resolved
From approximately 10:10am to 10:28am PT we experienced longer-than-usual processing times for transcription of pre-recorded audio. The root cause of this slowdown has been identified and resolved, and response times are back within normal ranges. Our team will continue to monitor traffic to ensure continued good performance.
