Suddenly PWSWeather is showing my station as inactive. It shows data up to 10:20am PDT today (Nov 2th). I noticed because my "current" icon in Belchertown (using Aeris) stopped working. My log still shows the usual updates every 5 mins:

Nov 25 17:05:23 4c8abe33c977 weewx[4488] INFO weewx.restx: PWSWeather: Published record 2020-11-25 17:05:00 PST (1606352700)

Either weewx is not catching some error, or PWSWeather is accepting the data but not processing it, I guess?

Anyone else pushing to PWSWeather?

Just took a look, and mine is doing the same: The log looks normal, but the station is appearing as "inactive" on their website.

I also checked their HTTP Response to see if maybe they changed their protocol for posting failures, but it is unchanged.

Seems to be a problem on their end.

There is a massive AWS outage on the east coast, so it's very possible that's the cause...

I wasn't able to follow up on my own post last night - my posts kept getting deleted for some reason. Let's see if Google hates me any less this morning...

I got confirmation from Aeris that they were affected by the AWS outage. Info at https://status.aerisweather.com/ (scroll down a bit).

I got a response from a support request. Aeris/PWSWeather are suffering from some major problems at AWS today, apparently.
