Temporary service disruption on March 3, 2026
Translation of a historical announcement originally published 2026-03-03.
Starting in the morning on March 3, 2026, HomeMoney became significantly slower for many users.
At approximately 20:00 Kyiv time, the website and app were temporarily made completely unavailable.
Service was restored at 23:00 Kyiv time.
HomeMoney is now operating normally.
Technical details
The incident was caused by an error in our integration with an external exchange-rate provider.
That day, the exchange rate for the Iranian currency exceeded the value supported by our current database structure. The code did not handle this scenario correctly.
As a result:
- the exchange rate could not be saved to the local cache;
- caching stopped working;
- the system began calling the external API directly;
- the API request limit was quickly exceeded.
Diagnosing and identifying the cause took several hours.
We apologize for the disruption.
