First brownout for legacy auth deprecation

Scheduled for Sep 24, 03:00 - 12:00 EDT

Scheduled

As part of our transition to a more secure authentication system, we are phasing out the Beefree SDK’s legacy (v1) auth process. This includes a series of scheduled brownouts, ending with its permanent removal in January 2026.

On September 24, 2025, all auth traffic will be temporarily rerouted to our /loginv2 endpoint during two brownout windows, lasting 1 hour each:
- First window starts at 12:00 AM PDT / 3:00 AM EDT / 7:00 AM UTC / 9:00 AM CEST / 12:30 PM IST
- Second window starts at 9:00 AM PDT / 12:00 PM EDT / 4:00 PM UTC / 6:00 PM CEST / 9:30 PM IST

If you are still using the legacy endpoint (https://auth.getbee.io/apiauth), you may experience temporary authentication failures during these windows. This is a warning event to help identify lingering dependencies and help your team prepare for the full transition.

To avoid service interruptions, update your integration to use the new V2 authentication flow before the first brownout.
