this is quite a significant outage and has been ongoing for over six hours now.

would love to see a tech write up or blog post or even a Twitter hint but there seems to be absolutely zero transparency.



> ongoing for over six hours now

Closer to 12 hours now I think. Certainly it was out at 7am EST this morning when I woke up.


Problems started to appear around 4am EST and services became completely unavailable by 4:40am EST.


It's quite surprising. I wonder if the technical side and the PR side of the company just aren't sufficiently connected.

It would be beneficial to have unvarnished tweets from someone in a technical role, written for technical peers rather than the general public. The press and tech journalists can filter the jargon into something useful for customers. "Dashboards are showing ABC, we're trying XYZ, so far it's looking like LMN", even if the public don't understand what is being said, is more reassuring than a generic statement. It suggests competence and hints that yes, it really is a difficult problem.


The first withdraw was at around 7:45 UTC, a little over 13 hours at the time of writing this comment.
