AWS issues have been fully resolved. While they continue working through their backlog, Planning Center is operating normally and we are monitoring closely. Earlier, the outage slowed all products and caused some scheduled tasks to fail, but we are re-running everything affected—including recurring donations, People list refreshes and automations, Services emails, Check-Ins “create event periods” jobs, Groups attendance reminders and emails, and all other scheduled tasks.
