Connection errors from Chicago region

Incident Report for LiveKit

Postmortem

The service we use to auto-renew certificates throttles aggressively. When a request to renew a cert is throttled or failed, we automatically retry to renew the certificate. This process usually resolves and the cert is renewed. However, in some cases the renewal process can get stuck; we have alerting set up to catch these instances. Unfortunately a logic error was introduced into this alert and in this case a stuck renewal process did not alert and the certificate eventually expired.
We have validated that no other certs are currently in this state. We have also resolved the issue with the alerting. In the future, we'll ensure to monitor changes made to this alerting process to ensure this does not happen again.
