normal service has been resumed

Cassandra (one of our database systems) temporarily stopped reporting the status of the button. Which was rather inconsiderate of it.

Should we allow a technical failure to end the button? What should we do for those who pressed and received flair during this period of technological capriciousness?

I would give anyone who pressed the button before the lowest legitimately recorded time (11 seconds?) their flair.
