As a result of this issue, some users may see delays or gaps in the event stream or for event queries on dashboards since Sep 30, 2026, 5:25 PM UTC To prevent false monitor alerts due to delayed data, monitors affected by the delay will not notify and will automatically resume once current data is available.
