Hi Meghan,
Could you provide any update you may have? I'm noticing that nothing is processing today as well. I want to reach out to Authorize if this is something that is happening on their side. Let me know.
Thanks,
Lindsey

Hi Lindsey,
It looks like the problem is on our end this time. We've identified an issue that occurred during recent database maintenance that was causing invoices on the 1st of the month to be queued rather than transacted. Our team is working on repairing that issue as soon as possible. Once a fix is in place, we'll be able to run those transactions for you. I'll keep you updated on our progress.
So sorry for the delay in processing! I know that you need these transactions to come through as quickly as possible, so we'll do everything we can to get them running again soon.

Hey Meghan,
Just checking on an update since we're at the end of the day. Are we the only customer having this issue or is this system wide?

Lindsey, you're not the only one. We're experiencing an issue too.

Thank you Michael! That's a little discouraging.

Hey Lindsey and Michael,
Quick update for you both. In order to perform essential maintenance on our database today to repair the issue I mentioned earlier, we had to disable the recurring engine. When the recurring engine is disabled, invoices do not automatically transact. Any invoices that were due while the recurring engine was disabled will remain in a queued state. The recurring engine is fault tolerant, so when it's re-enabled, it will transact any queued invoices that didn’t process while the engine was suspended.
Our team of engineers and database administrators has been working non-stop today to get this resolved because we know it's incredibly important to our merchants that transactions are running as expected. We're in the final stages of implementing a fix and anticipate being able to re-enable the recurring engine soon.
In the meantime, it is possible to manually run queued transactions even when the recurring engine is disabled. If there are queued invoices you'd like to go ahead and transact now, click on the queued invoice and hit 'run invoice' in the bottom left corner of the page.
Also, we've recently launched a status page for Cheddar and we'll be posting updates on this issue there. I'll continue to update you via this support discussion, but if you'd like to monitor the status page as well check out https://status.getcheddar.com/.

Meghan,
Is there a way to pull a report that will show us everything that is currently queued so we can make sure we get everything?

Hi Lindsey,
I've been using the customer's list in the Cheddar dashboard to pull information about who has queued invoices. Specifically, I'm getting the Active and on Paid Plan list, then sorting by invoice due date by clicking on the 'next invoice' column heading. That sorts the customer list by either furthest invoice in the future or most recent invoice.
Anyone with an invoice date in the past (i.e. 1-2 days ago) most likely has a queued invoice on their account.

Hi Lindsey and Michael,
We've just done a one-time run of the recurring engine on both of your products, which should take care of all the transactions that were in a queued state as of now. The recurring engine still isn't running automatically yet, but this should have run all the invoices that were queued from the last few days.
We'll keep you posted on the status of the recurring engine as we continue to work on the issue.

Hi Lindsey and Michael,
I apologize for the delay in processing, the recurring engine is now back online and transactions are running automatically again.
We'll be doing a postmortem analysis of the incident over the next day or so, and we'll be posting the results on our status page at https://status.getcheddar.com/, if you're interested.
If you have any other questions or if there's anything else we can help you with, please let us know!
