Final update from Cloudflare

All Cloudflare services have been restored and are now fully operational. We are moving the incident to Monitoring while we watch platform metrics to confirm sustained stability.

This issue was caused by a load spike on a primary datastore disk which began at 09:41 and was causing requests to complete slower than normal.

At 09:47 the cause was identified and blocked from causing further load. This immediately improved the speed of responses to our API.

At 09:49 additional capacity was brought online as a precaution, although normal levels of service had already been restored.

We apologise for the brief slowdown.

This incident has been resolved. The underlying host experienced hardware failure within Azure, and the server was re-provisioned on an alternative host.
