    1. tldr; Polygon experienced a temporary delay in consensus finality due to a bug affecting Bor and Erigon nodes, disrupting some RPC services and apps. Despite the issue, the blockchain continues producing blocks, and restarting nodes has resolved problems for some validators and providers. Engineers are working on debugging and rolling out fixes. The bug impacts finality, delaying checkpoints posted on Ethereum, but core chain operations remain unaffected. Polygon assured users of swift recovery and ongoing block production.

      I guess this is similar to what happened to Ethereum in 2023: a consensus caused the network to not finalize, but the network still continued to produce blocks (and this did not go “offline”).
