Lichess suffered unscheduled downtime between 14:48 UTC and 15:08 UTC. The cause appears to be a crucial server abruptly shutting down due to hardware failure, outside of our control. Things should be stable, but we will be monitoring closely. Unfortunately, we can't refund rating points or restore game positions. We apologise for disruption and inconvenience.
