Subject: Monitoring recovery of US webhook deliveries New outbound webhook deliveries for US workspaces have completed normally since 15:12 UTC, following a mitigation completed at 15:08 UTC.

Why these drafts stay bounded
Recovery is not resolution
The drafts report normally completing new deliveries while keeping the incident open for monitoring instead of declaring it resolved.
Remaining impact stays visible
Deliveries delayed earlier in the incident are still processing, so neither message presents recovery as complete.
Unknowns stay unknown
The cause and delayed-delivery completion time remain unconfirmed; the messages add neither a theory nor a completion estimate.
Cadence stays bounded
Both drafts promise the next communication at 15:40 UTC without turning that promise into a resolution time.
