This incident has been resolved. Between approximately 08:20 and 10:45 UTC, asynchronous transcription requests using Universal-3 Pro and Universal-3.5 Pro on our EU endpoint took longer than usual to complete, and some requests failed. Processing times have returned to normal ranges. Any requests that failed during this window can be safely resubmitted.
