   The third-party service provider is continuing to roll back the recent change to how it routes requests. After the rollback, the provider will also apply a follow-up fix. We're working with the provider to confirm recovery steps and expected recovery time. We'll provide an update in 30 minutes, or sooner if additional information becomes available.

   The third-party provider has identified an update that may be causing the issue. The third-party provider will begin the rollback in one region to confirm it resolves the issue which is expected to take about two hours. We'll provide an update in 30 minutes, or sooner if additional information becomes available.

3. 31 Oct 2026, 4:12 amupdate

   The third-party provider has shared initial findings but doesn't yet know the definitive cause of the widespread service disruption. Their engineering team is actively investigating across the impacted regions. We'll provide an update in 30 minutes, or sooner if additional information becomes available.

4. 31 Oct 2026, 3:56 amupdate

   We're working with the third-party provider and looking at alternate large language model options. We don't have a time for resolution yet, as the provider continues to investigate the incident trigger. Contractual and data residency commitments limit where we can reroute requests. We'll provide an update in 30 minutes, or sooner if additional information becomes available.

5. 31 Oct 2026, 3:31 amstarttimerevision

   Upon further investigation, we've determined that the start time of impact is different than initially understood. We've revised the start time of the Trust post to more accurately reflect the time customers may have begun to experience impact. We apologize for any confusion caused by this.

6. 31 Oct 2026, 3:25 amupdate

   We're working with the provider to get a recovery timeline and looking at options to route requests to alternative large language models. Because the issue affects multiple regions, we have limited rerouting options, and putting them in place may take more time. We'll provide an update in 30 minutes, or sooner if additional information becomes available.

7. 31 Oct 2026, 3:13 amimpactradiusincrease

   Investigations have highlighted that the impact radius is broader than initially understood. We have updated the posting to reflect the additional instances experiencing impact, and customers in these instances will receive communications related to this incident going forward.

8. 31 Oct 2026, 2:48 amupdate

   We're investigating an issue affecting some Agentforce customers who use large language models hosted by a third-party provider. Affected requests may return errors or fail to complete. Customers in multiple regions may be affected when their requests use the impacted capacity. The issue currently appears limited to models hosted by this provider. We're working with our service provider and reviewing changes to how requests are routed to resolve the issue. We're investigating the issue and will provide an update in 30 minutes, or sooner if we have more information.
