Interesting that traffic didn't return to completely normal levels after the incident.

I recently started using the "luci-app-https-dns-proxy" package on OpenWrt, which is preconfigured to use both Cloudflare and Google DNS, and since DoH was mostly unaffected, I didn't notice an outage. (Though if DoH had been affected, it presumably would have failed over to Google DNS anyway.)

Anecdotally, I figured out their DNS was broken before it hit their status page and switched my upstream DNS over to Google. Haven't gotten around to switching back yet.

What would be a good reason to switch back from Google DNS?

They go into that more towards the end, sounds like some smaller % of servers needed more direct intervention

If your Internet doesn't work, you'll get up and do other things for a while. I strongly suspect most folks didn't switch DNS providers in that time.

Clients cache DNS resolutions to avoid having to do that request each time they send a request. It's plausible that some clients held on to their cache for a significant period.
