Errors Accessing AO3

We are investigating reports of errors when trying to load AO3, including errors saying that AO3 is down, which seem to be related to the previous incident. We will update when we have more information!

AO3 is now fully down. After performing a software upgrade a few days ago, we've been unable to keep our server cluster healthy due to what we believe is a bug or issue with the new release of our database server software.

We're working with our vendor's support team to understand the cause and whether reverting or upgrading further will best resolve the issue without continuing the cycle of up and downtimes.

We do not currently have an estimated time for when we will be back up, but we expect it to be multiple hours at minimum. We apologize for the inconvenience and will update you when we know more.

For updates refer to our status page.

Following guidance from our vendor, we've brought AO3 back online to help troubleshoot. We expect the site will go back down, although we don't know when that will happen.

If you choose to post or update your works while AO3 is up, we strongly recommend making sure you have a backup of any text you are attempting to post.

For updates, please check our status page.

[gothhabiba]

being interested in canning and sewing and such is terrible because on the one hand these are very basic skills that it's good to have, but on the other hand half the people making content around those skills are like "hello welcome to That 1840s Plantation, where we show you how to—" you know suddenly I'm not interested actually
