So as of the time you posted this comment, were other services actually down? The way the 500 shows up, and the AWS status page, makes it sound like "only" the main landing page/mgt console is unavailable, not AWS services.
Yes, they are still publishing lies on their status page. In this thread people are reporting issues with many services. I'm seeing periodic S3 PUT failures for the last 1.5 hours.
AWS services are all built against each other so one failing will take down a bunch more which take down more like dominos. Internally there’s a list of >20 “public facing” AWS services impacted.
