## Updates from Circle
### 2026-11-03 20:00 UTC: identified
We’ve identified an issue in our background processing system that is causing delays in some areas of Circle. You may notice delays with new post notifications, drip notifications, workflows, storage usage updates, and more.
Delayed items are queued and will be processed. Until it clears, how long things take may vary, and some may arrive well after you’d normally expect them. We don’t have an estimate for full recovery yet, but we’re working on one and will share it here as soon as we have it.

### 2026-11-03 21:48 UTC: identified
We are continuing to work on a fix for this issue.

### 2026-11-04 03:18 UTC: resolved
We experienced a higher-than-usual volume of content being created on the platform, which temporarily increased the load on our background processing systems and resulted in some delays.

From the builder: does your app depend on Circle? [Sazabi](https://www.sazabi.com/?utm_source=down-guide&utm_medium=markdown&utm_content=circle) detects problems in your own logs without hand-written monitors, and you can ask it in plain language which errors mention Circle.
