Summary
InfluxDB has adjusted how it handles "partial writes" in its InfluxDB Cloud Serverless product using the v2 Write API, affecting customers who created their accounts after January 31, 2023. Partial writes will now always return a 400 status code. The most common condition causing partial writes is an error in the Line Protocol's syntax. InfluxDB plans to make this change for InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated and Clustered customers as well. A v3 Write API is also planned, which will revisit handling of partial writes and add new options and data types.
