   We experienced an issue affecting ad insertion and delivery between May 15 at 14:00 UTC and May 16 at 23:00 UTC. During this time, an incorrect targeting rule in the backend prevented ads from being eligible for delivery. The issue has since been resolved by our Engineering teams, and we are actively enhancing our monitoring and alerting processes to help identify and address similar situations more quickly in the future.
