Investigating - We are currently investigating this incident..

Apr 16, 09:00:00 GMT+0
Identified - Syncs using the `order_agreements` stream in the Shopify source connector are failing with the error: ``` The parent 'node' field for a nested connection must return a type that implements the 'Node' interface. ``` This is caused by a change on Shopify's side to their Bulk Operations API validation. The stricter validation now rejects bulk queries where nested connections use types that don't implement the `Node` interface — the `agreements` connection falls into this category <https://community.shopify.dev/t/admin-graphql-api-failure-when-fetching-sales-data-from-agreements-node/33344/10>.

Identified - Our billing system is undergoing maintenance to switch all users that are still on our pre-paid credit model over to get billed in arrears. This maintenance will _only_ affect you if you're currently buying credits in advance of using them. Airbyte users who are getting a monthly invoice are not affected. If you are an affected user, you won't be able to visit the "Billing" page in the Airbyte UI to see your usage and buy credits. In case you're low on credits, no need to worry - **your syncs will keep running** even if you'll run out of credits during the maintenance window! We'll reach out to all affected users end of this week with next steps required to get billed in arrears for your Airbyte usage. You can read up on Airbyte's pricing in [our docs](https://docs.airbyte.com/cloud/managing-airbyte-cloud/manage-credits). In case you have any questions or issues related to billing, please send us a message to [billing@airbyte.io](mailto:billing@airbyte.io)..

Identified - **Maintenance:** Enable the point-in-time recovery option on the main Postgres database. This should be a zero-downtime operation but we noticed that connections were dropping while testing in the Staging Environment. Our backend systems do reconnect but there could be an impact on transactions that are in-flight. We estimate that the operation will take 20min to 30min, but the connection dropping only occurred during a smaller time frame of a couple of minutes in the beginning. **Why does it matter:** - Reduces data loss from hours to seconds in case of a database failure - Enables us to conduct database recovery exercises without downtime as required per SOC II and ISO 27001..
