As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Pieter van Dam reported nightly refresh not completed by business day on 22 Jul 2026; dashboards stale. Bethan identified database lock in ingestion service; refresh restarted at 14:15 but customer unhappy with workaround.
Problem: Nightly refresh had not completed by morning on 22 Jul 2026; dashboards showed yesterday's data. Account managers needed current data for weekly review, and refresh was 14 hours late.
Handling: Bethan Lister investigated, found a database lock in the ingestion service blocking the refresh, and estimated 30-minute resolution. Refresh restarted at 14:15 but customer was offered manual export workaround earlier.
Watch: Enterprise tier customer expects 07:00 completion on business days; this breach triggers SLA credit. Customer unhappy with workaround; CSAT likely low. Database lock suggests infrastructure scalability concern.

- Public reply · Pieter van Dam 22 Jul 2026 12:36Yes, still yesterday's data. Nothing has updated. The nightly refresh clearly didn't run and we're halfway through the day now. What's causing the delay?
- created · Pieter van Dam 22 Jul 2026 13:03We still don't have the refresh. I saw your earlier message but we're now into the business day and the dashboards are still stale. Our account managers need current data for the weekly review. When will the refresh actually be running?
- Public reply · Bethan Lister 22 Jul 2026 13:28We've found a database lock in the ingestion service that's blocking the refresh. The platform team are working to resolve it now. We expect the refresh to resume within the next thirty minutes.
- Internal note · Bethan Lister 22 Jul 2026 15:00Advised manual export workaround at 13:28. Refresh restarted at 14:15 but customer unhappy with workaround. CSAT likely to be low.
