Impact
Customers were unable to load the Visibility Console or faced extremely high load times, affecting their ability to view content and dashboards.
Trigger

Detection

Resolution
The issue was resolved by restarting the indirect dependency at 14:50 UTC and the direct dependency at 15:04 UTC, restoring service by 15:05 UTC.
Root Cause
The root cause was a combination of high resource consumption by another service on a shared node and increased load from a mobile app update and a library update, which delayed issue identification and remediation.
