Elevated error rates due to some backpressure
Resolved Sep 16, 2025 at 8:48pm UTC
Overview
The Steel Sessions API entered a degraded state with a higher error rate due to intermittent failures in the session acquisition and reservation logic. The switching logic responsible for managing session lifecycles exhibited unpredictable behavior, resulting in users being unable to establish or maintain browser sessions. This was made prevalent to us due to a large amount of requests/backpressure which revealed this specific issue.
