Hey dear TimeGT community!
As some of you know, last few days have been a roller-coaster here. After TimeGT website and app itself got hit by users coming from so many different reviews (thank you Lifehacker and MakeUseOf!) things started to go out of hand a bit.
In general everything was fine — handling ~10 new user sign ups per minute (thousands of sign ups total) was alright — but — we didn’t anticipate this volume and weakest link for failure turned out to be Google Apps SMTP e-mail gateway.
Standard edition has 500 outgoing mails per day limit and we reached that limit way too soon
As a result, Paypal tried to contact our site to activate trials but as our system was unable to send out the greeting e-mail things got unprocessed.
Issues with the trial activation should be solved now, my sincere apologies to those who suffered — our payment processing is now back to normal and trial activation e-mails should have gone out today. More performance improvements are on it’s way but things should be still very smooth even now.
We have fixed the limit issue and getting more people on board should not be a problem anymore!
Thanks for the patience! If your trial is still not active — please contact us at dev at timegt dot com!
regs,
Ahti
