This morning we experienced a large uptick in 'deferrals' when we attempted to deliver email to Gmail for a portion of the senders on our platform, which has led to delays for newsletters sent between 9am-11am ET arriving in subscribers inboxes. We have updated our internal email infrastructure to route around the issue, so new sends are not affected but we are still working to deliver the remaining emails that were caught by this throttling issue (> 50% have been delivered).
