Polkadot Paseo testnet appears to have stopped producing blocks for ~11 hours

Hi everyone,

While testing our application on the Polkadot testnet today, we noticed that the network appears to have stopped producing new blocks for approximately 11 hours.

Block explorer:

I’m posting this here in case others are experiencing the same issue or if the team is already aware of it.

We discovered this because we’ve recently deployed ComputeFlux to the Polkadot testnet and have been actively testing our application. During testing, transactions stopped progressing, which led us to check the explorer and notice that block production had halted.

This interruption has temporarily blocked our development and integration testing, so we wanted to report it in case it hasn’t been noticed yet.

If this is an expected maintenance event or there’s already an ongoing investigation, we’d appreciate any updates or an estimated timeline for recovery.

Also, for anyone who may have missed it, we introduced ComputeFlux on the forum yesterday. We’re building a Web3-native AI compute layer and are currently integrating with the Polkadot ecosystem. We’d love to hear any feedback from the community:

Thanks to everyone maintaining the testnet, and please let us know if we can provide any additional information from our testing.

Hello @ahjxcrz ,

We apologize for the service disruption but this is expected as Paseo is going through a major downsizing and reset.

All the details are described in details in the following two posts:

Please let us know if you need further information.

Thanks.
Paseo team.
