The change we deployed adds automatic retries for the failure that was preventing a small number of triggers from firing, and we are continuing to roll it out fully. No data has been lost. We have confirmed that affected triggers replay successfully, and we are now replaying the triggers that failed during this incident. Our team is monitoring closely to confirm the issue is fully resolved.
