## Updates from PyPI
### 2023-05-20 16:02 UTC: identified
New user and new project name registration on PyPI is temporarily suspended. The volume of malicious users and malicious projects being created on the index in the past week has outpaced our ability to respond to it in a timely fashion, especially with multiple PyPI administrators on leave.
While we re-group over the weekend, new user and new project registration is temporarily suspended.

### 2023-05-21 21:57 UTC: resolved
Suspension has been lifted.

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