Identified

Some automatic changes in LaunchDarkly are being applied later than expected. This affects stage transitions for guarded and progressive rollouts, release pipeline phase progression, and multi-armed bandit traffic reallocations. Delays began at approximately 4:15 PM PT on October 2 2026.

In-progress rollouts and experiments remain at their current stage and traffic allocation; nothing has been advanced, reverted, or stopped incorrectly. No data is lost. Delayed changes remain queued and will take effect once processing catches up.
