The LMS Application became unresponsive at 3:15pm Eastern, on Monday 11.26.18. Just before 5pm Eastern the team was able to restore the functionality to normal. Teams were swarming the issue from the moment it occurred and will continue to monitor it as always.

LMS Response Times Slowed for Some Users
On Wednesday, October 24th, from 9:35pm to 10:08pm Eastern, the LMS system showed increased response times which caused pages to display much slower than normal for some users.
