Our team is actively investigating this issue.

  3. Monitoring

    A fix has been implemented. We are seeing processing times return to the normal ranges and are continuing to monitor the results.

  4. Resolved

    This incident has been resolved. Between approximately 15:05 and 15:45 UTC, async transcription requests using Universal-3 Pro on our EU endpoint took longer than usual to complete, and some requests failed. Processing times have returned to normal ranges and any requests that failed during this window can be safely resubmitted.
