Summary

Something Went Wrong Errors

**Summary:** On May 19, 2026, some customers on our US database experienced "Something Went Wrong" errors when attempting to access the FloQast platform. Affected customers were able to restore access by clearing their browser cache. The issue was fully resolved on May 20. **Root Cause:** A recent update to how the platform routes login and authentication requests introduced a misconfiguration in the network path. Under the new routing, certain browser security checks received an unexpected redirect response, which browsers are required to reject per web standards. Once a browser encountered this error, it cached the failure, meaning subsequent requests by the same user continued to fail until the browser cache was cleared. **Immediate Resolution:** The network routing configuration was corrected so that authentication requests reach the intended destination without triggering the redirect. The fix prevents recurrence of the caching problem going forward. **Follow-up Actions:** Additional controls are being put in place to allow the team to respond more quickly to issues with future rollouts, limiting customer impact while investigations are underway. The production deployment pipeline is also being strengthened with additional safeguards to ensure rollback procedures work as expected when needed.
