It's not down for everyone. I can browse just fine, but my pushes get rejected, so that qualifies as "degraded performance" for me.

It's got many named granular services marked as "degraded performance" or "degraded availability" that seemed to be down for everyone.

> However, saying "degraded performance" when you know it's "down for everyone" is an industry phrasing thing that's irritating. AWS also has "elevated response times" when everyone is seeing 5xx errors, or infinite response times.

Another popular one is "elevated API error rates" when the error rate is 1.

having been on the other side a number of times at a site with huge amounts of traffic, very often things can be down for a huge percentage but our logs will still show thousands of requests succeeding a minute. so it might be working well but slowly for some while not at all for many

It seems accurate to me - after some time, several "degraded performance" flags have been changed to "major outage".

For what it's worth, it's powered by statuspage.io, which is relatively industry standard for status pages.
