status.searchapi.io - API Interruption (10 min) - Status

We have completed an investigation into the recent service interruption affecting our API, which lasted approximately 10 minutes. The issue was caused by congestion within our Google Trends API, which led to an unexpectedly high number of retries. This triggered our autoscaling process, resulting in the consumption of more database connections than our configuration could support. Actions Taken and Future Plans: - Enhanced Timeout Management: We have implemented more refined controls on service timeouts to better manage and prevent failures across our services. - Database System Upgrade: We have scheduled an upgrade to our database systems to improve our autoscaling capabilities. This upgrade is designed to cause minimal disruption and will require a brief downtime of 60-120 seconds. We plan to conduct this upgrade during off-peak hours, likely over the weekend, to minimize impact. We are committed to providing reliable service and regret any inconvenience this may have caused. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to improve our services.
