    Cause: Legacy Salesforce login service got into a resource-exhaustion cascade.

    Fix: Rolling some unspecified fix they proved in testing out over the fleet seemingly very slowly (After their earlier attempts to roll something out faster failed).

      I wonder if “legacy login” is the shared login gateway.

      It’s optional but everyone uses it. And it was flaky for an hour or so, like two months ago.

        And while I haven’t actually done my homework, the push to email-based login seems like it’s really pushing people to start using their own custom domains for logging in
