"All systems operational"

What's the point of a status page if it doesn't reflect the real status...

It's either the status page goes down with everything else or the status page is wrong. Great.

EDIT: Looks like it's accurate now, 20 minutes later.

The point of the status page is so you can point to it for your five nines SLA and go "look? we were only down for one hour". As soon as the money relies on the metric, the metric will reflect the money.

Despite their update, I like how they're saying only their recursive DNS had "degraded performance", while authoritative is "operational". The entire reason everything blew up was because their authoritative nameservers weren't responding.

IBM Cloud status is pretty much always green... although we have issues pretty much every week.

They’re still using Lotus Notes for the tracking.

There are status page providers that actually monitor services and automatically update. Cloudfare just doesn't use them.

Let's start a betting pool. How many upvotes do you think OP will get before the status page acknowledges a problem? I say its going to be 600.

You lost. ;) 476 points, status page says it's down now.

This post is getting something like 30 upvotes a minute…might want to up that a bit ;)

And it looks like they started "investigating" at around 450!

Ahh I remember when AWS went down (think it was 2 years ago now?) or at least a data center in us-east? Majority of the internet went down and status page went down as well. Man good times.

Status pages are a marketing channel not a channel for developers most of the time. It most likely has to go through some layers before someone updates the status page.

This is an Atlassian Statuspage status page, so it's not hosted by Cloudflare.
