This incident has been resolved.

Update

Recovery is continuing across impacted US services. The main remaining user impact is that some recent Klarna Card transactions may not yet appear in-app, and related purchase notifications/sendouts can be delayed.
We have implemented mitigation and are actively monitoring stability and full catch-up. Root cause remains tied to a cloud infrastructure provider issue.
