## Updates from Scaleway

### resolved, 2026-11-07 11:28 UTC

Writes latencies returned to normal levels for this cluster.

### identified, 2026-11-07 07:27 UTC

Since 22h UTC, mean write latencies slowly increased on one Block cluster on fr-par-1 due to background operations pilling up overnight until 05h19 UTC. Latencies are not increasing anymore and the cluster is processing the remaining operations. The Block Storage team is working to speed up the processing of the remaining tasks. Write latencies are expected to return to normal in a few hours
