[RESOLVED] Connectivity Issues (Oregon)

Between 3:55 AM and 4:15 AM PDT, we experienced connectivity issues that impacted connectivity to the US-WEST-2 Region. This impacted multiple AWS services in the Region. Some customers may have also experienced issues accessing the AWS Management Console, with connection timeouts and unresponsive pages. Connectivity within the Region was not affected. Our engineers were automatically engaged at 4:01 AM PDT, and immediately began investigating this issue. We identified the root cause as an issue with networking devices responsible for network routing from the Region to the Seattle Metro, and began working in parallel on multiple paths to mitigate the impact. We took mitigation measures that led to initial recovery at 4:15 AM PDT. As the network continued to stabilize following our mitigation actions, a brief reconvergence event occurred between 4:47 AM and 4:59 AM PDT. During this reconvergence period, some customers may have experienced intermittent connectivity issues to the Region as network routes were re-established. By 4:59 AM PDT, all routes had been fully restored and service metrics returned to pre-event levels. Customers using AWS Direct Connect through EqSe2, Westin Building Exchange, Seattle experienced an extended impact window from 3:55 AM to 5:12 AM PDT. These customers would have experienced connectivity issues until network routes for this specific path were fully restored at 5:12 AM PDT. Customers connected redundantly through other AWS Direct Connect locations were not impacted by this event. The issue has been resolved and all AWS services are operating normally.

[RESOLVED] Inaccurate Estimated Billing Data

Between July 16 at 7:38 PM PDT and July 17 at 6:00 AM PDT, customers received erroneous budget and cost anomaly detection alerts, and saw inflated estimated cost and usage data in the Billing and Cost Management Console and the Cost and Usage Reports. These inaccurate billing estimates did not affect customer invoices. On July 16, 2026 at 7:46 PM PDT, our alarms detected cost anomalies but failed to halt the estimated bill generation process or alert our engineering teams. Our engineering teams were alerted to this issue on July 17 at 12:19 AM PDT by customer escalations, and we immediately began to investigate. We first informed customers in the Service Health Dashboard at 1:33 AM PDT. At 8:24 AM PDT we paused further updates to estimated billing data and turned off budget and cost anomaly alerts as a precautionary measure. We identified the root cause at 12:00 PM PDT, which was a configuration change in our bill computation system. This system relies on unit conversion data to calculate line item charges. The configuration change caused updates to the unit conversion data to fail, resulting in inflated line item costs, which propagated to the Billing and Cost Management console and triggered the budget and cost anomaly alerts. We implemented a mitigation at 12:30 PM PDT which corrected the unit conversion configuration, and we began to reprocess cost and usage data for all customer accounts. We observed recovery beginning at 4:19 PM PDT, and the majority of accounts were fully recovered on July 18 at 6:00 AM PDT. There is a small number of accounts still processing and we will post updates for these accounts on the Personal Health Dashboard. We have corrected our alarms to immediately halt processing and notify our engineering teams when anomalies occur. We apologize for the alarm this incident caused our customers and we are conducting a thorough retrospective to prevent events like this from reoccurring and to improve our response when billing incidents do occur. The issue has been resolved and all AWS services are now operating normally.

[RESOLVED] Increased Launch TemplateĀ API Error Rates (N. Virginia)

Between 2:56 AM and 6:54 AM PDT, we experienced increased error rates when calling EC2 Launch Template APIs in the US-EAST-1 Region. During this time, affected customers may have experienced errors when creating, modifying, or decribing Launch Templates. Other AWS services that rely on Launch Templates were also impacted. Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon EKS workloads already running on provisioned nodes continued to operate normally. Cluster modification operations, and Managed Node Group creation were also impacted. For EKS Auto Mode, impact was limited to operations requiring new capacity or changes, including node provisioning and pod scheduling. Our engineers were automatically engaged and immediately began investigating the root cause. We identified the root cause as a congestion issue within an EC2 internal subsystem responsible for processing EC2 launch template workflows. At 3:26 AM PDT, we took mitigation actions by introducing throttling for the affected APIs and we saw some recovery which was communicated directly with a subset of customers via the 'Your Account view' of the AWS Health Dashboard. We took multiple additional mitigation paths, incrementally lifting these throttle limits, and by 6:54 AM PDT, the issue was fully mitigated. We recommend that customers retry any requests. The issue has been resolved and all AWS services are now operating normally.

[RESOLVED] Increased Error Rate and Latency (N. Virginia)

Starting May 7 4:20 PM PDT, we experienced increased impaired EC2 instances and degraded EBS volumes in a single facility (data center) within a single Availability Zone (use1-az4) in the US-EAST-1 Region. The issue was caused by a thermal event resulting in a loss of power. As part of our recovery effort, we shifted traffic away from the impacted Availability Zone for most services at May 7 5:06 PM. AWS services, like Elastic Load Balancing, Elastic Kubernetes Service, ElastiCache, Redshift, OpenSearch, Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka among others, that depend on the affected EC2 instances and EBS volumes in this Availability Zone, also experienced elevated error rates and latencies for some workflows and/or configurations. Our main effort during the event mitigation strategy was to bring back our cooling systems capacity. By May 8 1:50 PM, we were able to stabilize cooling system capacity to pre-event levels, which helped us to restore the majority of the impaired EC2 instances and EBS volumes. A small number of instances and EBS volumes remain impaired and we continue to work to recover all affected remaining resources. We will communicate with customers who are still impacted via the Your Account view of the AWS Health Dashboard. Customers that require further assistance with this event may contact AWS Support through the AWS Management Console or the AWS Support Center.
