Dec 8, 2021 By Max Rozen In OnlineOrNot

According to our own monitoring at OnlineOrNot, the outage started at 2021-12-07 15:32 UTC and began to recover well at 2021-12-07 22:48 UTC (with minor signs of life for a few minutes around 2021-12-07 20:08 UTC). Had we relied solely on AWS to update their status page before reacting, we would have been waiting a while.
