Hi Carlos,
We currently have a degradation on our RPKI services. We had to disable the
RRDP service request so it can fall back to RSYNC in the meantime that the
team works on ways to optimize the availability of the service. However,
this was prior to 1st of June. We will still investigate just to be on the
safe side though so far everything looks good on our side.
For reference of the mentioned degradation, you can check the below link
