## Updates from PyPI
### 2023-06-21 21:38 UTC: investigating
We are currently investigating an issue with our object storage provider.

### 2023-06-21 22:46 UTC: identified
We have identified an issue that is impacting latencies for files.pythonhosted.org, resulting in timeouts for a portion of requests.

### 2023-06-21 22:52 UTC: identified
We're in communication with the object storage provider and are waiting for them to rollout a fix.

### 2023-06-21 22:57 UTC: identified
We are also implementing our own change to guard against excessive latencies from the provider.

### 2023-06-21 23:45 UTC: monitoring
Our mitigation has decreased overall latencies, but they remain elevated over normal operation. As our provider's service recovers we expect to see a return to baseline.
