## Updates from ElevenLabs
### 2026-10-13 03:25 UTC: resolved
Between 03:25 and 04:44 UTC on October 13, 2026, some requests to create an Instant Voice Clone failed with an error. This affected the Voice Lab in the app and the Voices API endpoint (POST /v1/voices/add), when background noise removal was turned on. Clones created without background noise removal weren’t affected.
