There is a sharp drop in new account creations on loginwiki since SessionManager was deployed to group1:
https://login.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=newusers&user=&page=&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=&hide_patrol_log=1&hide_tag_log=1
There are two different mechanisms for autocreation, CreateLocalAccount in CentralAuth and the central login mechanism itself; somehow both seem to be failing.

Meta seems unaffected, even though the job autocreates accounts there as well. So probably the root issue for the job and web is the same.

Deployed and tested, accounts are now auto-created on login wiki during the account creation handshake.
Some accounts are not being auto-created on login wiki during the account creation process again.

Sorry about the tags but if I add one, the other one is removed. If somebody knows how to fix that...
Very likely a different cause of the same symptom, so please file a new bug instead of reopening an old one. To that end, I've created T173451: New accounts not being reliably created on loginwiki for you and am re-closing this one.
