Identity document scanning has been fully operational since 16:35 UTC. Between 10:53 and 16:35 UTC on 23 July, roughly half of document scan attempts in guest profiles failed due to rate limiting at the third-party service that processes document images. Retrying a scan or entering document details manually worked throughout the incident, and no data was lost. We apologize for the disruption and are taking steps to prevent a recurrence.

Update
Since 23 July, 10:53 UTC, scanning identity documents in guest profiles is failing intermittentlyl roughly half of scan attempts return an error. This is caused by rate limiting at the third-party service that processes document images; we have confirmed the issue is not related to any Mews release and are working on restoring full service.
Workaround: retrying the scan usually succeeds after one or two attempts.
