### resolved, 2026-08-23 21:00 UTC

From 09:18 UTC on 21 August to 21:00 UTC on 23 August, 0.008% of egress recordings processed in our US East region were terminated before completion. Affected recordings were marked EGRESS_FAILED ("egress timed out"). For file outputs, media was not written to the configured destination; for HLS and streaming destinations, media was delivered up to the point of failure. The cause was node scale-down evicting egress workers with active recordings. A fix was deployed at 21:00 UTC on 23 August.
