Thank you! We'll reach out later (it's a bit busy over here right now, as you can imagine).
Thanks @jcrespo ! I didn't see your message until now and well, your warning was founded:
https://github.com/minio/minio/commit/27742d469462e1561c776f88ca7a1f26816d69e2 (minio in official maintenance mode now)

As @AStein-WMF 's manager, I approve.

Moving to our current sprint (which will change in a couple hours from now) to keep track as we ensure there's no follow-up needed on our side.

For the record, the list of emails in my screenshot above have been marked as opt-out so no emails should go to them anymore.

(I'm deeming none of that as PII, even though I wouldn't normally paste the emails of any other contacts in Civi.)

added that parent task (T87667) which has other Accessibility concerns (but is old, so might need re-review).

Moving back to Triage from Later.

Moving to done on chaos crew board, as the AWS outage is over (*knocks on wood*).
Changing from UBN! to High, since the acoustic-hosted links seem to be working again.

Noting that I'm prioritizing this investigation task due to the usage rate being very out of the ordinary and will required some significant budget re-arrangement to compensate. cc @AKanji-WMF @XenoRyet
Approved!

Thanks Peter and thanks for the config change. Do you want to manage the deploy of this through a backport window or have someone of fr-tech? https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Backport_windows

Folks are reporting it works again, we'll uncomment that commented out line above ^.

After more investigation the next steps are to turn it back on and see if the deadlocks reoccur.

We discussed this internally briefly and I agree that we should turn off the frdata update job until we can determine the root cause and mitigations.
(changing from UBN to High as this should be resolved, we just wait to actually close tasks until our sprint review)

Relevant slack thread with dlocal that @AnnWF re-poked to get info from them: https://wikimedia.slack.com/archives/C072S0VFH42/p1749739060959609
summary of discussion during fr-tech backlog triage call: We're pretty certain if the only thing changing in the cookie is setting the expiry date, CentralNotice should consume/use correctly.

Kindly asking for help diagnosing this Release-Engineering-Team.
Moving this out of unscheduled into Triage for us (FR Tech) to re-review/prioritize our side on it as it's a thing that needs cross-team (Traffic and FR-Tech) coordination.

Discussed in Office Hours with Rakhi, we can close and monitor with Gravy in our ongoing calls.

Heya @DerHexer, no real update on this as our last couple sprints worth of time (iow: most/all of July) we've been pretty short staffed (vacations, sabbaticals, and sicknesses combined) and this was unfortunately not prioritized during that time.
Jul 28 2025
Just an update on timing: there is a campaign scheduled to go out tomorrow afternoon UTC that would use this payment method.
From Rakhi via a slack channel (not sure which one, I don't have access):

FYI: this maintenance week has moved from late Aug to late Sept due to the needs of the email team (discussed during the Tech/Online/Ops Leads call today).

11:34 <greg-g> re the mail_queue alert/backlog last week: it happened again the next day during the daily recurring batch processing, but did not happen since. https://frmon.wikimedia.org/d/sZWA7LpZk/mail?orgId=1&from=now-7d&to=now&timezone=utc&refresh=1m&viewPanel=panel-26&shareView=link 11:35 <greg-g> so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 11:43 <Jeff_Green> I saw that, and not too long afterward they dropped the block and the queue cleared out in a few minutes 11:45 <Jeff_Green> I think there are two things we could do to improve the situation in the future: one is it may make sense to delay sending out TY if we can find a pattern in donations that are more likely to be rolled back, another is to make civi use both mxs instead of just frmx1001 11:55 <Jeff_Green> although, maybe doing nothing is fine, this two-day fun event has happened only this one time in the past year 12:13 * greg-g nods 12:13 <greg-g> my mental summary: lower priority for now, but maybe prioritized based on other email reputation improvement work (eg dmarc etc)
Found the original access request (T292222: Fundraising access request for Janna Layton) and it looks like only superset access was given (eg: none of the external accounts).
Jul 18 2025
It didn't happen yesterday even though we had the usual daily recurring go through.
Jul 17 2025
Not sure what that middle plateau is about, but we're back down to a reasonable queue it seems.
Jul 16 2025
Now it's just sitting at ~3k in the mailqueue for some reason:
