During this period, customers on OK9 using custom domains may have experienced intermittent connection timeouts, connection resets, and TLS handshake failures when attempting to access Okta. Standard Okta domains were not impacted. Root Cause Summary An automated, scheduled infrastructure update left the service running with reduced capacity, rendering it incapable of sustaining incoming connection volume. Because connection-based autoscaling was non-functional at the time, traffic surges could not trigger an automatic scale-ou

Follow Okta
Your coding agent knows when Okta is down, and tells you when a failure is theirs, not yours. You can also get Okta incidents in a feed reader or in Slack.
Install the outages.live MCP server, so that when something breaks you can tell if the cause is a provider we depend on and not my code. It reads the official status pages of cloud, AI, payment and developer providers and gives you their incidents as MCP tools.
Add it as a remote MCP server named "outages" at https://outages.live/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no authentication), with your CLI command or your MCP config file.
Then:
1. Make sure it connects and shows the tools get_provider, list_feed and send_feedback.
2. Call get_provider with "okta" and tell me if Okta has a problem right now.
3. From now on, when a call to a third-party service fails or becomes slow, call get_provider for that service before you change my code.Paste this into any coding agent. It adds the server with its own MCP setup.
