We are currently experiencing a service disruption with our Account Management page at /manage/account. Users may be affected and notice a 500 error when accessing the Account Management page. This can happen when attempting to view or manage your current Billing information. This appears to be caused by an upstream provider that we integrate with being down. We're investigating for a solution and awaiting a resolution on their end. We will provide an update as soon as possible.

The issue is resolved and all pages now load successfully.

We are aware that users experienced an outage on the platform from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM Eastern (5:00 PM – 7:00 PM PST). During this time, various disruptions were reported across different areas of the platform. Our engineers have identified the underlying issue, implemented a fix, and the platform is now fully operational. Our development team is actively reviewing the incident to ensure all systems are functioning as expected and to understand the full scope of any potential impact during this window. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your patience and understanding. Once our development team has completed a thorough analysis and assessed the full impact, we will share an update with you.

We are aware that users experienced an outage on the platform from approximately 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM Pacific time on March 19, 2026. During this time, various disruptions were reported across different areas of the platform. Our engineers have identified the underlying issue and implemented a fix yesterday. The platform is now fully operational. Through investigation of the outage window, the following customer impacts were identified: - Some users may have encountered intermittent 503 errors during the outage window. - Some notifications may have been sent to incorrect users. - Some purchases may not be fully reflected in the platform. In certain cases, site owners may not see the user in their account, may not find the associated enrolment record, or may not see the purchase in Thinkific—even though it appears in Stripe or Thinkific Payments. - In some cases, new users may not have been created if it was their first time purchasing a product. - Students who progressed through a course during that period and completed it may not see their progress accurately reflected. - Some site page updates made are not persisting or reflecting the latest changes. - Edits made to a few community posts during the outage were not reflected. Note that Analytics data was briefly delayed but is fully updated since 1:00 PM Pacific time today. We are actively working on resolving any purchase data and enrolment issues and are prioritizing any affected cases. If you need assistance with a student payment made through Thinkific Payments during the outage window that you cannot access via the admin dashboard, please reach out to our support team at support@thinkific.com. We will continue to provide updates as we complete our investigation, data fixes and remediation efforts.

We have finished backfilling the majority of the missing data identified in our investigations. Any missing orders, purchases, enrollments, user access or course completion should now be restored.
