Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes        
The Company has historically computed its provision for income taxes for interim periods using a forecasted annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) based on anticipated annual pretax income or loss, which was adjusted for discrete items recorded in the period. However, due to the level of forecasted provision for income taxes relative to the forecasted pre-tax income used in computing the effective tax rate, the effective tax rate is highly sensitive to fluctuations in pre-tax income and does not provide a reasonable estimate for income taxes in the interim period. As such, the Company computed its provision for income taxes based on the year-to-date actual effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company plans to revert to applying a forecasted annual effective tax rate to year-to-date earnings and adjusting for discrete items once that method produces more reasonable results. The primary difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate is the full valuation allowance the Company has established on its federal, state and certain foreign net operating losses and credits.
The provision for income taxes recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2024 consists primarily of federal, state and foreign income taxes and withholding taxes in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business. The provision for income taxes recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 consists primarily of the same factors and also income tax expense from a foreign audit settlement.
The provision for income taxes recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 consists primarily of income taxes and withholding taxes, partially offset by an income tax benefit from the release of tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions for which the statute of limitation had lapsed.
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various other state and foreign jurisdictions. Because the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal and state jurisdictions, the statute of limitations is open for all tax years.
