Earlier today, some users experienced errors and increased latency when creating and updating Linear issues from Slack. This was caused by internal changes to our notification processing that didn’t scale as expected, leading to processing backlogs in some cases.

The degradation has been resolved, and Slack-based issue actions are now operating normally. We’ve stabilized our infrastructure and are adjusting our approach to prevent similar surges going forward.

Thanks for your patience while we worked through this.

We’ve identified the cause of degraded performance affecting Slack integrations in the US East region. As our systems continue to stabilize, some users may continue to see minor latency when creating or linking issues through Slack.

We’re monitoring closely and will update once the latency resolves fully.
