⚪ 🔐 Vault cluster went catatonic, turning certificate operations into an infinite timeout buffet. API requests decided to just hang out indefinitely while TLS connections waited for Godot. All better now, but that was 12 minutes of pure infrastructure theater. (Auto-resolved: no updates in 24h)

Certificates issues affecting API and proxy

// Status page says

Mar 3 , 00:54 UTC Resolved - Between 19:54 and 20:06 UTC, our Vault cluster serving app certificates was unavailable. This caused various API requests to fail, mainly operations on certificates but also app creates and IP assignments. As the failure mode was Vault requests hanging rather than failing immediately, TLS requests through fly-proxy for domains where the certificate was not cached on the local node remained open
