End time: Thursday, September 10, 2026, at 6:30 PM UTC
Root cause: A code regression after a recent service update impacted OData $Select query, which caused failures.
Next steps:
- We're reviewing our feature update testing and validation methods to better identify the potential for impact to querying prior to deployment to prevent similar impact in the future, and to improve our pre-deployment update testing processes.
This is the final update for the event.
