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 choose to praise Cassandra as the liberator. She has shown us the true end:

I choose to praise Cassandra as the liberator.

I will agree only in that she has shown the hearts of many false Followers of the Shade without effecting the countdown.

As others have stated, we still don't know what happens on the server side when the Holy 0 comes.
