Past Incidents

We are performing some database index maintenance at the moment. During this time you will still be able to access Power Diary, but it will run a little slower than normal and you may receive some error messages related to this. The expected duration is 1 hour and we will post updates here as we proceed.

14:27 GMT Maintenance is still underway, but performance will be better now as the majority of the work is done. 14:50 GMT Maintenance was completed

We have been able to speed up some of the AWS system processes which will aide system recovery. If the next phase works as expected we hope to have the system operational within 30mins and will keep you posted here. Thank you for your ongoing patience. We understand the high level of difficulty this is causing.

Unfortunately this issue is ongoing. The attempts we have made have not resulted in a restoration of services. We are now working on a strategy to bypass the issues identified in the AWS processes. We do not yet have an ETA but will update here once we have more information.

17th October 2021; 09:55am - Initial Status Report

We are aware some users are experiencing slowed system performance, difficulties sending messages or reviewing communication history, and getting general error messages. The issue is being caused by a maintenance task (indexing of a database table) that is operating which is taking longer than expected to complete. Unfortunately we cannot stop this midway through, but we expect it to be completed shortly. We apologise for the inconvenience.
