You call three emails (the last of which was almost 2 months ago) "best efforts"?

I had to read your message three times because this is so reality-defying preposterous I just couldn't believe I didn't miss anything. How about warnings on the dashboard? How about an intentional error (or limited service interruption) so that people would log in to their dashboard?

They did have a warning on the dashboard, problem is a lot of people don't check the dashboard because they don't need to, as they just view everything through grafana, etc.

They also had a notice on the status page

Getting those people's attention would be what the intentional errors are for.
