I'm getting Fatal Failure messages in IPN & in the "Activities" section of the website.

In multiple different accounts.

 

Everything was OK until today.  I don't remember seeing this problem before.

Me too. Most worrisome is that the failed IPN notifications do not seem to be retried. I'm now reduced to manually fulfilling the failed subscription extensions.

Seems ok now.  It was happening for about one day.

Yes, fingers crossed! BTW, the response I received from Paypal support was:

 

"Sorry to hear that you experienced IPN issues on May 1st. PayPal reported some issues on that day which was posted at https://www.paypal-status.com/history/eventdetails/35027 . It is likely that this caused the temporary issue you experienced with the IPN post back validation. We apologize for any inconvenience."

 

The link goes to nowhere, so there you go.

Happening again today. Somehow it always seems to happen around the turn of the month.
