We identified the root cause on 2021-11-30 and implemented a fix on 2021-1130 at 6:35 pm PST. We have monitored for nearly 24 hours; during that time “infinite loading” on pages and errors in Customer Portal have dropped to 0 on important pages such as list view for Licenses and Cases.

Monitoring
We have identified and deployed a fix for the customer portal. We believe will resolve the issues experienced pertaining to slower performance and increased error page views, specifically including issues relating to viewing/assigning licenses and cases.
We will be monitoring for the next several days to ensure problems are resolved. We will post a final update before this issue is marked as resolved.
