1. investigatingOct 15, 2026, 9:30 AM UTC

   We’re seeing elevated error rates and slow responses for some operations that create or change data. Creating new apps, setting or removing secrets, and some app deletions are affected. You may see 500 or 503 errors from `flyctl`, the Machines API, or the dashboard. Apps and Machines that are already running are not affected. Starting, stopping and reading existing Machines are working normally. We’re investigating and will post another update within 30 minutes.
