US1 cold query outageResolved Aug 10, 2026 · 7h 33mResolved

The fix is in place and we've confirmed resolution. Queries and SLOs are processing normally. --- [2026-08-10T06:01:43.048-07:00] (monitoring) From 11:36UTC to 12:43UTC, queries in US1 that read older data returned errors or timed out. Queries over recent data were un-affected, and no telemetry is being lost. The issue has been identified, and a fix is in place. We are currently monitoring the situation to confirm resolution.

Querying issuesResolved Jul 31, 2026 · -72 minResolved

Starting at 9:50 AM Central Time on July 31st we received alerts around querying health and latency. The cause was eventually tracked down to a clash of two different factors. First, we have been introducing Lambda Managed Instances \(LMI\) into our query architecture, which behave similar to classic lambdas in many ways and had been introduced as part of work around querying performance improvements with the goal of a better and faster user experience. Unfortunately, a difference between classic lambdas and LMIs we discovered is the 15 minute hard stop of classic lambdas does not exist on LMIs, which means that certain assumptions built into our querying system no longer held. At the time of the incident, our newer Canvas feature was running batches of queries for a customer which should have a self imposed one minute time out. This timeout was not properly communicated back to the lambda, and while with classic lambdas the task would automatically cut off at 15 minutes, the new LMIs were not enforcing this sort of safety mechanism. As a result, some large queries were running for up to 30 minutes, driving up query latency across the board and resulting in errors for users trying to run fresh queries. The system recovered by 10:10 AM CT, 20 minutes later, when the large queries cleared out, but we continued to investigate the cause of the incident. Once we identified this weakness in our querying architecture we began work to fix it and prevent the same incident from occurring again. We have shipped all associated incident follow ups. --- [2026-07-31T08:42:55.775-07:00] (resolved) Between 10:30 and 11:00 AM EDT, we experienced elevated querying failures and slowness. The impact has subsided, and we are currently investigating and monitoring the situation.

Honeycomb Status FAQ

Is Honeycomb down right now?

The verdict at the top of this page comes from the latest poll of the official Honeycomb status feed and refreshes automatically, so you are not looking at a stale cached answer. PulsAPI re-checks a vendor every 60 seconds whenever it is not fully operational, or has changed status in the last 30 minutes, so an incident is always on the fastest cadence. Vendors that are stable and rarely watched are re-checked every 5 to 20 minutes instead.

What should I do if Honeycomb is not working?

Check the component list on this page first to see if your failure matches a known outage. If it does, you can report the issue for other engineers, follow the incident timeline for vendor updates, and run any fallback your app supports until Honeycomb recovers.

How do I check Honeycomb uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks Honeycomb uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is 100.00%. The 90-day uptime strip on this page is public: no account needed. A free account adds alerts whenever Honeycomb changes state, plus 15 days of incident detail; Pro extends that to 90 days and Business to 13 months.

How fast does PulsAPI detect Honeycomb outages?

PulsAPI reads the official Honeycomb status page. PulsAPI re-checks a vendor every 60 seconds whenever it is not fully operational, or has changed status in the last 30 minutes, so an incident is always on the fastest cadence. Vendors that are stable and rarely watched are re-checked every 5 to 20 minutes instead. Alerts reach Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email within seconds of detection.

Does PulsAPI track individual Honeycomb components?

Yes. PulsAPI monitors 14 individual Honeycomb components, so you can see which service or region is affected instead of a generic "service degraded" banner.

Can I get alerts when Honeycomb goes down?

Yes. Create a free account and subscribe to Honeycomb: the free plan covers three services with unlimited email alerts and no monthly notification cap. Paid plans lift the monitor limit entirely (Pro and above do not meter how many vendors you watch) and route the same alerts into Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty and webhooks.

How do I report an issue with Honeycomb to the community?

Click "Report an issue" at the top of this page, pick the issue type and severity, and optionally add your region and a short note. Reports are anonymous and help other engineers spot Honeycomb problems early. Official status pages often lag real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Is there a free way to monitor Honeycomb?

Yes. The free plan covers 3 monitored services with unlimited email alerts, permanently, so Honeycomb plus two more costs nothing. Every new account also opens with a 30-day Business trial (unlimited monitors, Slack alerts, SLA reporting) with no credit card.

Track Honeycomb with the rest of your stack

2463+ vendors in one dashboard, and an email the moment any of them changes state. Three free, and no monitor limit at all from $29/mo, unlike the alternatives, which keep charging by the monitor.
