## Updates from LaunchDarkly
### 2026-10-03 07:29 UTC: identified
Some automatic changes in LaunchDarkly are being applied later than expected. This affects stage transitions for guarded and progressive rollouts, release pipeline phase progression, and multi-armed bandit traffic reallocations. Delays began at approximately 4:15 PM PT on October 2 2026.
In-progress rollouts and experiments remain at their current stage and traffic allocation; nothing has been advanced, reverted, or stopped incorrectly. No data is lost. Delayed changes remain queued and will take effect once processing catches up.

### 2026-10-03 08:51 UTC: monitoring
The backlog of delayed changes has been fully processed as of 1:45 AM PT on October 3. All changes that were delayed during the incident have been applied. No data was lost. We are continuing to monitor.

### 2026-10-03 09:06 UTC: resolved
This incident has been resolved.
