How our status checker works
We combine official data with a dynamic User-Report Baseline to calculate real-time connectivity. By analyzing user-reported issues over a rolling 24-hour window, our tool recalculates the health of each service every 30 minutes.
Online
When report volume remains below the 50% threshold, the service is confirmed "Online," reflecting stable performance and no widespread issues.
Partial outage
A report surge between 50% and 75% triggers a "Partial outage" alert, indicating localized disruptions or specific feature instability.
Down
Reports exceeding 75% of the baseline classify the service as "Down," signaling a critical failure or a major connectivity outage.
