This was primarily due to an outage on the 7th of March, which saw the requests to most endpoints timeout. There was also a scattering of failures throughout the week where endpoints not delivering responses of the correct size.

Interestingly, the only endpoint to remain with a CASC score in the green zone, FEMA Get Hazard Mitigation Plan Statuses, also saw these timeouts around the same time, but not nearly as many.

Allied Irish Bank Sandbox in the Open Banking UK Sandboxes decreased by 17% from 9.42 (in the Green Zone) to 7.77 (in the Yellow Zone).

This was due to a large jump in server processing time affecting all but the OAuth endpoint (not all endpoints shown in graph for clarity). Around the 9th of March, Average server time jumped by around 100ms. This was coupled with an increase in outliers and failures across some endpoints where the server returned HTTP 500 Internal Server Error.
