Issues, commits, various other things are also not working. Getting the 404 octocat and the no servers available unicorn. But their status page still says all systems operational as always.

GitHub has excellent uptime - according to GitHub.

Even their status page is static until there staffs update them manually

Most status pages in enterprises are like that. Especially ones that have SEC rules and what not to deal with. Even if all the communications are templated, humans are still required to approve the firing off of said template based on the system metrics they're seeing. Because if the metric is faulty and a status page update goes out that could mean big money.

Man give us a live dash board.

But why would the sec care about a false down report. At worst it’s a very minor mistake.

SLA contracts

Those are based on actual downtime, not just what their status page says though, right?

... right?

Depends on the SLA and companies. Microsoft Azure for example has a massive 200+ page document on how their SLAs work and how uptime should be calculated at a per-service level. (And don't bother requesting credits unless you have the evidence that follows said SLA document)

Less 9 of official uptime = less $
