Machine and Remote Docker jobs are delayed

Incident Report for CircleCI

Monitoring

We continue to see reductions in average wait times for customers requesting Linux, AMD, and Remote Docker resource classes, with maximum delays now reduced to under 3 minutes.

Current Status:
- Linux, AMD and Remote Docker jobs: Wait times continue to improve, maximum delays of just under 3 minutes
- Docker, Mac, Windows, and Android jobs: Operating normally without delays

Additional capacity continues to come online, and we expect further improvements as our infrastructure scales to meet demand.

Thank you for your patience as we work toward full resolution.
Next Update: Within 30 minutes or when normal operation is restored.
