Wow, that is a fail hosting your status page in the same datacenter/environment as production. Honestly, a bit surprised, since Slack has always seemed on top of things.

If you can't get to the status page, it's probably a good indication the service is down :)

You're missing the point. It is for communication to your customers. Give them an outline of what is happening and an estimated eta to being back up.
Usually companies do that with twitter/facebook nowadays. Status page has always been a stopgap. That's why we had http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

IIRC this error message is throw when an AWS ELB is empty(in my experience). I'd imagine it could be thrown if all servers in the ELB are maxed out.

| "Back-end server is at capacity"
DDoS?
503 = at capacity, default response an ELB returns when all the servers in the ELB are OutOfService (or missing).

Also AWS's error code for no healthy nodes in elb.
