Electric Embers: System Status

As explained in our terms of service, we expect at least 99% uptime for each service (less than 7 hours of downtime per month). Our actual long-term full-system uptime rate is typically much higher than this, currently better than 99.8% since 1 May 2003. Outages lasting longer than 10 minutes are detailed below. All times shown are PST/PDT (UTC -0800/0700).
