   Based on our observations, WSA and Reporting are working as expected. Configuration Deployments are experiencing higher latency and may take longer in the "pending" state than usual. However, these configurations will eventually be deployed to production after a longer-than-usual delay. We are continuing to work on a fix for this issue.
