Hi Team,

We are still experiencing severe issues that have got worse today. 

Yesterday the service was slow, full of 503 and 504 errors.

Today, those errors are present BUT we now have users who cannot print with regular failures.  This also extends to searching and adding the printers.

I too am seeing the same thing. This has been happening since Monday 3/1/21. Pages are extremely slow to load and I mostly see 504 errors in the blades.

@BW_TJ @Eric-Kirch Thanks for reporting your ongoing issues, and apologies for the convenience. The team is continuing to mitigate the issue and address the root cause.
