    Resolved: Between 23:30 and 23:37 UTC on September 13, 2026, async transcription requests experienced elevated turnaround times due to an unexpected spike in processing load. We scaled out additional capacity and turnaround times returned to normal levels. Requests submitted during this window were processed, with some taking longer than usual to complete.
