Current status: We're validating our fix to restore the impacted metadata and preparing to begin deployment to the affected region. We'll provide another update within 2 hours.
While our remediation efforts are ongoing, before rerunning a task that's reported as failed, we recommend checking query history to confirm whether the task's query completed successfully.
Customer experience: Customers hosted in the specified region may experience intermittent issues with scheduled or manual tasks. Most tasks complete as expected, but some may be marked as failed even though they ran successfully. A small number of tasks may remain in a pending state or fail to start, and affected users may see an "Unexpected exception during task dispatch" message or similar error messages.

Update
Current status: Our investigation indicates that the directory issue is limited to the records the metadata store keeps for task execution. We're developing a fix to restore the impacted metadata and resolve the impact; however, due to the complexity of the issue, we expect this will take an extended amount of time. Once complete, we'll proceed with deploying the fix as a potential mitigation. We'll provide another update within 2 hours.

Update
Current status: We've determined that a directory issue within the components of the metadata store responsible for facilitating the impacted tasks is preventing some task records from being read consistently, which is causing the task failures. We're working to identify the origin of the directory issue to assist us in restoring normal task execution. We'll provide another update within 1 hour.

Update
Current status: Our investigation has identified that tasks appear to be failing due to an a potential issue with a backend record lookup on the metadata database layer, and we're working to determine what's causing these records to return null and result in task failures. We'll provide another update within 1 hour.
Customer experience: Customers hosted in the specified region may experience failures when executing scheduled or manual tasks. Tasks may be marked as failed even though the underlying query completed successfully, or may fail to initiate. Affected users may see an "Unexpected exception during task completion" message or similar error messages.
