Am I hallucinating or did they do a "cleanup" of the GH status in their status page? https://www.githubstatus.com/

API Requests with 4 nines of availability??

Issues with 99.96 uptime?

PR with 99.61% uptime last 90 days??

https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/ marks PRs at 95.89% in the same period as an example.

Seems like if they changed the criteria of downtime. If you hover over the individual days you’ll see lot of degraded messages, but still green.

I had checked that page not long ago, and as far as I remember there were many "red" or "orange" days in the past 3 months. Now it's all green. That's concerning

  • If they've actually improved the service, it would be fine. Is there reasonable plausability, reasonable doubt, or reasonable suspicion?

They have an incident reported today, but the status page for actions shows green :D that's fun.

I clicked through wayback machine and couldn’t see any strong indicators that uptime had been rewritten, but there are a lot of snapshots. If you can prove it, I’m interested.

  • As said, maybe I'm really hallucinating and mixed up the official and unofficial GH status pages, but there are definitely incidents published in the official one that are not counted as downtime or even partial degradation in the uptime counter.
