On May 22nd at approximately 0:00 UTC, a misconfiguration in the 
Chrome-facilitated 
testing 
<https://developers.google.com/privacy-sandbox/relevance/setup/web/chrome-facilitated-testing>
 
setup impacted the availability of the relevance and measurement APIs in 
all Chrome Stable versions. This issue is unrelated to the APIs themselves, 
and unique to the setup that supports Chrome-facilitated testing ahead of 
third-party cookie deprecation. Browsers that restarted between 0:00 UTC 
and 16:00 UTC on May 22 had these APIs disabled. The impacted browsers will 
be fixed when they next restart.

The affected APIs are Attribution Reporting, Protected Audience, Private 
Aggregation, Shared Storage and Topics. While the APIs were unavailable, 
existing storage and user settings for the APIs will be retained. That 
means:

   - existing Attribution Reporting source registrations and pending 
   reports will be retained
   - existing Protected Audience interest groups will be retained
   - existing Topics history will be retained
   - existing Shared Storage values will be retained
   - existing user settings will be retained


For sites and services participating in Chrome-facilitated testing, the 
APIs were unavailable but the labels and groups were not impacted. Once 
browsers within each group restart, they will return to their previous 
behavior. 

This does not affect third-party cookie restrictions enabled via the 
Tracking Protection feature for 1% of Chrome users.

We recognize the impact this has on companies testing the APIs and 
apologize for the disruption. This misconfiguration was unique to the 
limited-time Chrome-facilitated testing setup and we have taken steps to 
prevent this issue happening in the future. We will continue to update this 
thread with any further status updates, information, and guidance.
