Is Helium Consensus Groups down?
Current Helium Consensus Groups status is UP

Identified - This is placeholder comms for a decision made by the core devs and the Foundation a few minutes ago. We will come back with more specific communications on what we did, why it was necessary in an urgent manner, and what's next.Core developers, validator operators, wallet and exchange operators, and others in the community have noticed significantly slower block times in the last 12+ hours due to a large backlog of Oracled Proof-of-Coverage. No action is required by Hotspot Manufacturers, Validator operators, Data users, or Hotspot owners. We expect to resolve after we clear the backlog.This could be due to a rate limiter that hasn't been implemented yet that needs to be addressed but in order to continue processing state channels, payments, burns, Hotspot onboards, location changes, etc., we believe the correct response is to halt the oracle that is pushing transactions on chain and let it recover. We will provide more details as we execute the steps defined in the blockchain channel on Discord. Stay tuned and thanks for being patient over the weekend. We'll come back with a proper post-mortem and further steps during the week.Thanks! Feb 05, 2023 - 17:04 UTC

Identified - Validators with a corrupted region cache are preventing block production. The core team is working with operators to fix affected validators to resume block production. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience.At this time, all transactions on chain will be unconfirmed until Validators begin producing blocks again. Funds are safe but activity like Proof of Coverage, Hotspot onboarding and movement, Token Transfers, etc. are unavailable. Data Transfer is not affected. Nov 17, 2022 - 12:36 UTC
