### Summary On October 1, 2026, between 01:00 and 07:25 UTC, degraded job processing and scheduling impacted Atlassian products including Bitbucket Cloud, Confluence, Forge apps, Jira, and Jira Service Management in all commercial cloud regions. This caused delayed or missed background tasks, such as email-to-ticket processing and scheduled pipelines; interactive product use was not affected. The event was triggered when an unexpected volume of scheduled tasks became due simultaneously, overwhelming our shared job scheduling platform. Automated monitoring detected the incident within three minutes. Recovery began around 03:45 UTC as engineering scaled capacity and the platform worked through the backlog, with full resolution reached in 6 hours and 25 minutes. ### IMPACT Most scheduled tasks stopped running at 01:00 UTC and resumed from about 03:45 UTC. Most delayed work had caught up by about 06:00 UTC, and the remaining delays had cleared by 07:25 UTC. Across affected products: - Recurring scheduled tasks skipped or delayed runs due during the incident; skipped runs were not automatically re-run, and tasks resumed at their next scheduled time. - Most one-time scheduled tasks ran late; a small number may not have run. - Automation rules, including scheduled rules, ran normally, except as noted below. Bitbucket Cloud Scheduled pipelines due between 01:00 and about 03:50 UTC did not run. If a scheduled pipeline did not run during the incident, you can wait for the next scheduled execution or trigger it manually. Other pipeline runs were not affected. Confluence Some calendar event reminders due between 01:00 and about 03:45 UTC were not sent. Forge apps Scheduled triggers stopped at 01:00 UTC and resumed from about 04:00 UTC; missed invocations were not replayed. Goals Start of the month email reminders to update goals could be delayed. Jira and Jira Service Management Incoming emails stayed in their mailboxes and were processed automatically after recovery. Scheduled notifications, such as filter subscriptions, were delayed. In some service projects, automation rules and notifications triggered by SLAs or time in status ran late. SLA timer data remained intact. Atlassian Support Until 07:25 UTC, issues with our support tools may have slowed some of our responses. Based on our investigation to date, we have not identified any loss of work items, pages, repositories, or incoming emails. ### ROOT CAUSE Our shared job scheduling platform operates at high scale under normal conditions. One of the platform consumers scheduled an abnormally high volume of tasks to be executed at the same time on October 1st at 01:00 UTC. This order-of-magnitude surge exceeded our architectural and scaling limits, creating a processing backlog across dependent services. Engineering manually increased capacity to handle the abnormal load, enabling the service to process the backlog and return to normal operations. ### REMEDIAL ACTIONS PLAN & NEXT STEPS We know that delayed and missed work affects your productivity. We are prioritizing these actions to help reduce the likelihood and impact of similar incidents: - **Enhance workload isolation:** Implement fair scheduling guardrails so volume surges from a single source do not starve or delay tasks across other products. - **Strengthen surge controls:** Add operational capabilities to quickly throttle or pause scheduled workloads from specific sources during unexpected traffic spikes. - **Improve system scaling and recovery:** Enhance platform capacity and optimize scaling processes to handle extreme demand spikes and recover more rapidly. We apologize to customers whose services were impacted during this incident. Thanks, Atlassian

### Summary On September 14, 2026, between 15:30 and 17:10 UTC, Atlassian customers using Opsgenie, Jira Service Management, and Compass experienced delays in receiving alert notifications and intermittent failures when using Ops features. The issue was triggered by long-running transactions in a core service, which led to thread pool exhaustion and caused subsequent requests to become unresponsive. The long-running transactions were caused by a configuration change released between September 9, 2026 and September 11, 2026 UTC. The team actively monitored the impact of the change on the system until early September 14, 2026 UTC, and observed no anomalies. However, increasing traffic during US working hours on September 14, 2026, caused these unexpectedly long-running transactions. The incident was detected within one minute by our automated monitoring systems, and full service stabilization occurred after isolating and rolling back the change on September 14, 2026 at 17:10 UTC. ### IMPACT The incident primarily affected Ops features across Opsgenie, Jira Service Management, and Compass for customers hosted in the US region. During the incident, the end-to-end flow for alert creation and notification delivery experienced an average delay of 22 minutes. No alerts or notification payloads were dropped during the incident; all queued events were successfully processed and delivered as services recovered. Additionally, related Ops API endpoints and Web UI flows experienced elevated latency and intermittent errors. The disruption began at 15:30 UTC and was resolved by 17:10 UTC (total duration: 1 hour and 40 minutes). Engineering teams were alerted immediately via backup disaster-alerting pipelines and began mitigation without delay. However, the disruption affected internal notification and coordination flows between cross-functional teams (including Customer Support and Incident Communications), which resulted in delays in publishing external Statuspage updates. ### ROOT CAUSE The incident was triggered when a newly released configuration change made redundant downstream service calls on every page load, causing a traffic spike. The configuration change, released between September 9, 2026, and September 11, 2026, was actively monitored for impact until early September 14, 2026. However, a traffic spike during US working hours caused unexpected issues. The downstream service began rate-limiting requests, and an aggressive retry strategy without sufficient backoff held worker threads open, leading to pool exhaustion and timeouts on incoming critical traffic. ### REMEDIAL ACTIONS PLAN & NEXT STEPS The incident was mitigated by disabling the feature flag that triggered the inter-service rate limiting. We understand reliable access to Atlassian products is critical for your teams. We are prioritizing the following actions to prevent recurrence: - **Improve Service-to-Service Resilience** - Review and adjust rate-limiting configurations between internal services. - Optimize retry strategies to prevent long-running transactions and keep the impact isolated to problematic point. - **Improve Architectural Isolation** - Refine the architecture of this core service to have more isolation between different transactions so that degradations in one transaction type do not impact unrelated critical flows. - **Improve Proactive Alerting** - Add early-warning alerts for thread pool saturation and elevated inter-service rate-limit responses before they impact end users. - Implement backup alerting processes for customer support and incident communication paths We apologize to customers whose services were impacted during this incident; we are taking immediate steps to improve the platform’s performance and availability.

### Summary On September 11, 2026, between 07:02 and 07:56 UTC, Atlassian customers primarily from the EU region and some from APAC region using Jira and Jira Service Management products were unable to view work items or access boards consistently. The event was triggered by a backward-incompatible internal configuration rollout in the underlying graph data platform. The incident was detected within 3 minutes by our automated monitoring system and mitigated by rolling forward the stable deployment to all regions. The total time to resolution was about 54 minutes. ### IMPACT The overall impact occurred between September 11, 2026, 07:02 UTC and September 11, 2026, 07:56 UTC on two products. During this period, some customers in the EU region using Jira and Jira Service Management experienced intermittent failures or degraded performance. We noted that a configuration failure prevented critical dependency services from scaling, which resulted in an outage for affected users. Jira and Jira Service Management users experienced timeout errors and failed or delayed page loads when attempting to access the work item view, issue navigator, and board view. ### ROOT CAUSE The incident was caused by the deployment of a change to the graph store service, which serves links to third-party entities such as pull requests. The change caused startup checks to fail, preventing new nodes from joining the cluster. During peak traffic, the service could not scale sufficiently, causing requests from Jira and Jira Service Management to the graph store service to fail. ### REMEDIAL ACTIONS PLAN & NEXT STEPS We know that outages impact your productivity. We are prioritizing the following improvement actions to avoid repeating this type of incident: - Implement Code-Based Configuration: We are moving configuration definition files to be part of the core codebase to ensure they are versioned and deployed synchronously with the application logic. - Graceful Degradation in Jira: We are implementing changes to the affected Jira views to segregate core queries from noncritical dependency queries, allowing the page to remain functional even if a downstream service fails. - Optimize Deployment Pipeline: Deployment pipelines are being optimized to enable accelerated, parallel updates during operational response scenarios. We apologize to customers whose services were impacted during this incident; we are taking immediate steps to improve the platform’s performance and availability. Thanks, Atlassian Customer Support
