The longest-running open report was filed in Sweden on 2025-02-26 and has now been open for about 19 months. Where agencies state a cause, unexpectedly high demand lead with 2 of the 4 stated-cause reports, followed by manufacturing problems with 2. The furthest expected-resolution date currently on file is 2026-12-31; the earliest is 2026-12-31. The issue spread across registers over time rather than at once: Sweden reported first (2025-02-26), with Austria following roughly 18 months later — a pattern typical of supply problems cascading between national markets.
