## Updates from Daytona

### resolved, 2026-11-03 14:53 UTC

Between 13:05 and 14:40 UTC, the Daytona API had elevated latency and intermittent errors. Some sandbox create, start and stop operations were slow or failed during this window. The cause was a database overload brought on by an unusually high volume of repeated requests, which kept routine database maintenance from completing. We restored the database and confirmed that performance is back to normal. We're adding safeguards so a single source of traffic can't cause this again. If any of your sandboxes are still in an unexpected state, retry the operation or contact support.

### degraded, 2026-11-03 13:33 UTC

We're seeing degraded performance in our database, so some API requests and sandbox operations (create, start, stop, delete) are slower than usual or timing out. We've found the queries involved and are working to restore normal performance. Running sandboxes are not affected. We'll post another update within 30 minutes.
