## Updates from crates.io
### 2023-10-18 19:03 UTC: investigating
We have been seeing an elevated level of failing requests due to response timeouts over the past couple of minutes. This appears to be caused by a significantly increased level of traffic towards our API servers. We are investigating the root cause and will enable appropriate mitigations if it becomes necessary.

### 2023-10-18 19:06 UTC: monitoring
The traffic levels have returned to regular levels at this point. We will continue to monitor the situation.

### 2023-10-19 06:45 UTC: resolved
This incident has been resolved.

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.
