Phaxio outage history

We are currently investigating an issue affecting the Auto-Recharge feature. Our team is working to restore functionality as quickly as possible. In the meantime, you can manually add funds to your account as needed. We will provide an update once Auto-Recharge has been restored.

We have identified the issue affecting the Auto-Recharge feature and have implemented a fix. The issue was caused by a software bug. Auto-Recharge functionality has been restored and should now operate as expected. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we worked to resolve the issue.

We are currently failing to process all outbound faxes. We are actively investigating the issue.

The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented.

This incident has been resolved. Our engineering team is actively investigating the underlying cause of this issue and is working toward a permanent resolution. We will continue to provide updates as new information becomes available.

Root cause was identified as an outage of our temporary storage where documents are held for processing. During this time outbound faxes failed with the message “Document conversion error. Contact support.” In some cases, the API rejected new connections due to the congestion. There was no effect on inbound faxes during this time.

We experienced an issue with an AWS event. This resulted in a delay of inbound faxes, and also resulted in non-completed faxes on outbound for approximately 30 minutes. Some outbound faxes were not delivered, and were canceled. These faxes will need to be resent. The occurred between 8:15-8:46 PM ET on July 23, 2025 Please reach out to [email protected] with questions or concerns. Thank you, Phaxio Support

Please be advised that support for .doc (application/msword) will stop immediately on Phaxio due to possible security vulnerabilities. The file type .doc is a legacy MIME type to the newer .docx and support is ending for this file extension by Microsoft in October 2025. In addition, we are removing support for .odt (application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text) immediately due to overall security concerns and known exploits with that file type. You can find the support file types here: https://www.phaxio.com/faq#11 Please do not reply to this email as it is unmonitored. Please reach out to [email protected] with questions or concerns. Thank you, Phaxio Support

We have identified an issue with some outbound faxes failing due to document conversion errors. We are actively investigating and will continue to provide updates.

Services are now restored - we have restarted the applications and are currently monitoring. If you do experience more issues, please advise us at [email protected].

This incident has been resolved.

**Start:** 12:58 UTC 04/30/25 **Stop:** 14:46 UTC 04/30/25 **Findings:**  Document conversion servers experienced an issue resulting in document conversion failures on outbound faxes. **Resolution:**  The servers were restarted to resolve the errors. We are analyzing the event to further determine root cause of the document conversion failures. **Customer Experience:** Some sent/outbound faxes would have received the following in the webhook notification for the fax: status: failure error\_type: documentConversion Error The fax will need to be resent. **Future:** Engineering is working on reviewing server logs and alerts to alleviate the issue from occurring in the future

We are observing an issue with the “Number of Pages” that are being posted for both Received and Sent faxes on the webhook and on the console for a fax log. Engineering is currently investigating the issue. Please note, the full fax is being processed, this is only a reporting issue for “Number of Pages” (Example: A 30 page fax will send/receive all 30 pages, but the webhook and console log for that fax will show “Number of Pages: 1”)

Engineering has identified the issue and we are working on releasing this to production. Updates to follow.

Engineering has released the fix to production and we are monitoring at this time. Customers will only be billed for single page faxes, even if the fax contained multiple pages. Also, we will not be adjusting the page counts for faxes that were sent or received during this service issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to you or your customers.

We are currently experiencing an issue with our sms verification service. This will affect users being able to log into the dashboard as they will not receive their sms verification code. Inbound and outbound faxes are not affected. Should you have any questions or experience any service issues, please continue to reach us at [email protected].

The sms verification service issue has been identified and resolved at this time. If you are experiencing any further issues logging into the web console please contact support at [email protected]

On Friday September 15 at 17:36 pm UTC our team noticed a significant drop in successful faxes being sent and received through Phaxio.
