## Updates from RunPod
### 2026-02-21 00:00 UTC: resolved
\*\*Date & Time:\*\* Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 21:00 UTC
\*\*Estimated Duration:\*\* Up to 30 minutes
\*\*Affected Region:\*\* US-TX-4 (Texas)
\*\*Summary:\*\*
RunPod's data center partner will be deploying a dedicated NAT Gateway for the US-TX-4 region to address network latency and packet processing issues. This upgrade is intended to improve long-term network stability and performance for all pods in this region.
\*\*Expected Impact:\*\*
Pods in US-TX-4 may experience intermittent network connectivity disruptions during the cutover window. Active connections — including SSH sessions, API calls, and data transfers — may be dropped and will need to re-establish. Pod compute resources will remain online; only network connectivity is affected.
\*\*Recommended Actions:\*\*
- Pause or checkpoint any network-sensitive workloads prior to 21:00 UTC on 2/21 if possible
- Expect to re-establish SSH sessions or restart network-dependent processes after the maintenance window
- Monitor your pods for connectivity restoration following the cutover
