Slack Thread: Billing Service Follow-up 25

Date: 2026-01-12 Channel: #release-checkout Service: Billing Service Incident Reference: INC-2025-305 Jira Reference: ACME-3005 GitHub Reference: GH-3009

Elena Rossi: We are reviewing INC-2025-305 for Billing Service. The main concern is whether the remediation in ACME-3005 also covers downstream impact to Checkout Service and Billing Service.

Sam Rivera: I checked traces for Authentication Service, Inventory Service, and Notification Service. The correlation IDs line up with the incident timeline, but the highest error rate stays inside Billing Service.

Jordan Kim: Please make sure GitHub item GH-3009 includes contract tests for API API-BILLING-02 and an update to the runbook.

Maya Chen: Agreed. I will add release readiness notes, dashboard screenshots, and a rollback checkpoint before this goes to canary.

Devon Patel: Decision: keep ACME-3005 open until staging replay passes and the incident review confirms no unsupported customer-impact claims.
