## Updates from PyPI
### 2023-10-17 19:32 UTC: investigating
We are investigating and responding to widespread issues with databases in our infrastructure showing poor performance due to cloud block storage.

### 2023-10-17 19:44 UTC: identified
A burst balance for our cloud storage disks that host our databases was exhausted. We are going to migrate to storage that will allow us to respond by adding more IOPS.

This incident has been resolved.

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