Queries have returned to normal. We have identified the cause and are working on a fix to prevent the issue from occurring again.

Monitoring2026-09-01 04:02 UTC

We've load-shed the traffic spikes and the latency has come down and the errors have decreased. Still investigating the potential culprits of the spike in the first place.

Investigating2026-08-31 23:57 UTC

We’ve identified an issue affecting analytics queries (timeouts and/or failures). Dashboards, insights, and other query-driven views may be slow or unavailable.

Follow PostHog

Your coding agent knows when PostHog is down, and tells you when a failure is theirs, not yours. You can also get PostHog incidents in a feed reader or in Slack.

Prompt
Install the outages.live MCP server, so that when something breaks you can tell if the cause is a provider we depend on and not my code. It reads the official status pages of cloud, AI, payment and developer providers and gives you their incidents as MCP tools.

Add it as a remote MCP server named "outages" at https://outages.cc/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no authentication), with your CLI command or your MCP config file.

Then:
1. Make sure it connects and shows the tools get_provider, list_feed and send_feedback.
2. Call get_provider with "posthog" and tell me if PostHog has a problem right now.
3. From now on, when a call to a third-party service fails or becomes slow, call get_provider for that service before you change my code.

Paste this into any coding agent. It adds the server with its own MCP setup.
