Summary

WorkOS says intermittent 503 errors affected a small fraction of requests routed through certain regions, primarily Ashburn, Virginia, due to an issue with an upstream provider. The upstream provider mitigated the issue, 503 error rates returned to normal, and the incident is now resolved.
