# “The service is currently unavailable in the \<region\_code> region” error in Cloud

*Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud*

### SYMPTOMS

When I’m trying to sign into the Patch My PC (PMPC) portal, the following message appears:

**The service is currently unavailable in the <*****region\_code*****> region.**

### CAUSE

This message appears if, for some reason, the region hosting your PMPC Cloud company is unavailable.

### RESOLUTION

There is no action on your part. Once we resolve the issue, this notification will automatically disappear and you will be able to sign in to the PMPC Cloud portal.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

If you are currently signed into a company in one region and you have a company in a different region that is currently inaccessible (as that region is currently down), you will see the following banner notification in the portal:

**The service is currently unavailable in the <*****region\_code*****> region. We are actively working to resolve this issue.**

Again, there is no action on your part. Once we resolve the issue, this banner notification will automatically disappear.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important**

Please read the **IMPORTANT** message on this screen about **NOT** creating a new company in the unaffected region during the outage, as doing so will cause issues when the affected region recovers. If you have any questions please contact support.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-cloud/troubleshoot/sign-in/the-service-is-currently-unavailable-in-the-less-than-region_code-greater-than-region-error-in-cloud.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
