CircleCI outage on 2026-08-15: Delays starting jobs following planned maintenance

Following planned maintenance that ended at 13:00 UTC on August 15, some impact to job processing continued for approximately 30 minutes beyond the window we announced. Some customers continued to see delays in jobs starting, along with a small number of jobs failing with infrastructure errors, until approximately 13:30 UTC. This has been resolved and job processing has returned to normal. Customers whose jobs failed during this window may rerun affected jobs. We thank you for your patience while our team worked on implementing a fix and apologize for any inconvenience the extended impact may have caused.
