Services Status
Monitoring - Realtime queues are once again approaching normal levels and the team continues to monitor processing and reporting updates.
Nov 19, 2025 - 13:43 EST
Identified - Notice for US Ally Deployments – there has been an increase in traffic in the last 24 hours (November 18) impacting Ally's bulk, realtime, reporting and surge processing queues resulting in slower processing times.

Ally and its associated components remain available, however there may be delays in processing some of these updates. Real time processing for new content items will be delayed along with report updates. Ally engineering and development teams continue to work on this as a high priority and will provide updates as processing levels return to normal.
