## Updates from crates.io
### 2023-07-21 02:45 UTC: identified
We're seeing crate publishes being reflected in the sparse index with a large delay, since 01:05:00 UTC. We have identified the root cause of the problem (the crates.io application being rate limited by a third party service due to a large volume of yanks), and we're working to process the backlog of publishes.

### 2023-07-21 03:06 UTC: resolved
The backlog of updates to the sparse index has been processed.

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