Earlier today, incidents affecting external services that Linear integrates with resulted in a surge of retried and delayed events being processed by our systems. This temporarily increased system load and created a backlog of background tasks.

While we worked through this backlog, some asynchronous updates in Linear—such as integration activity, the Linear agent in Slack and other background updates—appeared delayed.

Our systems are actively processing queued tasks, and we're seeing stabilization. We'll continue to monitor for full resolution.
