Not sure if this is just isolated to my workspace, but formulas have completely stopped calculating for me . Workspace status and fibery status still say OK.

Cleared up after about 10 minutes from this initial stoppage, not sure what caused it, we have relatively few entities and I was the only one working.

Was it done at 00:00 UTC equivalent in your timezone?

Then the dbs were likely still recalculating “Today”.

It’s a scheduled job which runs against the workspace. Some dates aren’t calculated “in the moment” like how you’d expect. Since dates are stored in UTC, many formulas are re-run behind the scenes at the switchover, which is why automations and formulas can grind to a halt at that time — likely because they’re waiting on workers.

This is a known behaviour built into the software’s backbone, the side effects of which have spurred multiple heated debates over the years. For us, it just so happens UTC 00:00 occurs mid-morning when we’re throttling the app the most, and I’ve had countless support emails asking why the system is broken (another one came in yesterday, actually).

I don’t know if they plan to do anything about it, though.
