      We're back online. 🎉 Here's a quick summary of what happened and what to expect: **What happened:** Our data processing pipeline experienced a technical failure, and parts of our system lost sync with each other, causing a full outage starting around 7 PM. **Where things stand now:** - ✅ Systems are back up and processing data normally - ⏳ Your data will fully catch up over the next few hours - 🔍 A small number of files were caught in the middle of the failure and may be delayed or, in rare cases, unrecoverable — we'll know more tomorrow **What we're doing next:** Our team will work on recovering any affected files and auditing our data pipeline to ensure nothing is missing from your historical records. We'll share another update once that work is complete. We're sorry for the disruption. Thank you for your patience — we know your time data matters, and we take that seriously. The RescueTime Team
