Thanks — I looked at the Connection Latency graph and your session details (RM_xT2rroIMwYV3, EG_0xSNn4zEQbNg). I’ll address whether this looks like an outage and how to interpret the graph.
What the graph shows
• The chart plots percentile latency (p50 / p90 / p99). Spikes around 1.5–2.0 seconds mean a large portion of connections experienced round‑trip delays in that range (not milliseconds).
• Latency at 1.5–2s is high for real‑time voice (perceptible lag). Typical LiveKit/WebRTC audio transport is expected to be much lower.
Is this likely a recent outage?
• This is unlikely to be a platform‑wide outage. The session was routed and completed (egress recorded to AWS), and LiveKit’s infrastructure is resilient. The observed pattern points to localized network or client issues rather than a service outage.
What to investigate next (quick checklist)
1. Client network & device
◦ Check Wi‑Fi/cellular quality, packet loss, and whether client was behind a congested NAT, VPN, or restrictive firewall.
1. Region/routing
◦ Confirm the client was connected to the nearest LiveKit region/edge.
1. TURN vs direct
◦ Determine whether the client used a TURN relay (can increase latency) versus a direct peer path.
1. Run a connectivity check
◦ Use the ConnectionCheck/diagnostic utility from the client environment to test WebSocket, WebRTC, and TURN paths.
1. Correlate telemetry
◦ Compare the connection latency spikes to per‑participant connection quality, bandwidth charts, and any client-side logs/timestamps to find where latency began.
If you want, share:
• Client network type (Wi‑Fi/cellular), device OS/browser, approximate timestamp of the spike, and whether TURN was used. With that I can suggest specific next steps and commands to collect diagnostics. Sources:
