### Pipeline pause
195
+
196
+
Starting on October 4, 2021, a problem with the `chng` pipeline began causing it
197
+
to mark some days of data as deleted in their most recent version. These
198
+
spurious deletions affected all regions and `chng` signals from July 31 to
199
+
August 3, 2021, and the affected date range would continue to grow by one day
200
+
each day if we allowed the pipeline to continue running.
201
+
202
+
On October 8, 2021, we paused the `chng` pipeline, and it will remain inactive
203
+
until we can identify and implement a fix. In the meantime, the versions with
204
+
the deletion markings have been removed, so that default (latest) queries and
205
+
queries with as-of set to 20211004 or later will return the
206
+
next-most-recently-updated value for these dates.
