Have anyone checked out the status page? It's actually way worse than I thought, I believe this is the first time I am actually witnessing a status page with truly horrible results.

Well then clearly you haven't taken a look at https://status.claude.com.

This is ... surprisingly honest? The one above is "missing" status page; and most status pages would legally have to be filed in the "fiction" section of the library.

At that 3rd party side GH is currently noticeable worse then claude ...

Like they are down to one 9 availability and very very close to losing that to (90.2x%).

This also fit more closely to my personal experience, then the 99.900-99.989 range the article indicates...

Through honestly 99.9% means 8.76h downtime a year, if we say no more then 20min down time per 3 hours (sliding window), and no more then 1h a day, and >50% downtime being (localized) off-working hours (e.g. night, Sat,Sun) then 99.9% is something you can work with. Sure it would sometimes be slightly annoying. But should not cause any real issues.

On the other hand 90.21%... That is 35.73h outage a year. Probably still fine if for each location the working hour availability is 99.95% and the previous constraints are there. But uh, wtf. that just isn't right for a company of that size.

You may have fumbled the calculator at one point. 20Min per 3 hours is 88.8% uptime. 99.9% uptime is 11 seconds down.

I get the email notifications from Anthropic’s status monitor, and I think they might be my most frequent emailer these days.
