Particle is investigating multiple reports of cellular carriers in South Africa rejecting or not allowing data sessions to flow. The issue relates to B524 and M524 devices.

Particle is working closely with our cellular partners, their regional partners, and the local carriers to address this issue. On the 27th of June a networking change was implemented, and devices coming online since are able to pass data. Investigation into the root cause is ongoing.

The issue is considered resolved. Affected devices will need to be reset or power cycled to resume connectivity.

We are currently investigating an issue impacting cellular connectivity for some devices on our MVNO network. Our engineering and carrier teams are actively working to identify the root cause and restore normal service as quickly as possible.

We are seeing initial signs of recovery as connectivity is being restored for a portion of affected devices. Our teams continue to closely monitor the situation and work with carrier partners to ensure full service restoration.

Connectivity has largely recovered and we are continuing to monitor the situation closely to ensure service stability across the affected MVNO network. At this time, most devices should be operating normally, though a small number of customers may still experience intermittent issues as recovery completes. We will continue monitoring and provide a final update once we confirm the incident is fully resolved.

The issue impacting cellular connectivity on our MVNO network has been resolved. Services have remained stable following recovery, and our teams have confirmed normal operation across affected systems.

Particle is investigating issues with device connectivity to the Particle cloud. This affects all devices except legacy devices (Photon/P1). The cause is still under investigation.

This incident has been resolved.

Particle is investigating issues with device connectivity to the Particle cloud. This affects all devices, both WiFi and Cellular. The cause is still under investigation.

The issue is ongoing, and the team is still investigating.

We identified that our cloud services were impacted by the ongoing AWS outage. Our team has applied some changes that allows the cloud services to auto recover when needed. Periodic disruptions are still expected, but the data to/from the cloud should improve.

The incident has been resolved.

Particle has identified several services that are still affected after this morning's outage. This includes some logic executions, and Integrations which rely on secrets stored in the Particle cloud. The majority of logic functions, and integrations (that do not use secrets) are not impacted.

Metrics for logic and integrations are back to normal.

From UTC 08:30 Integrations and Logic and Ledger was impacted by an AWS outage. Integrations have started to recover, but integration relying on saved secrets are still failing.
