> They are not down. (They just don't work for lots of people!)

Seems about par for the course for big tech these days. There's currently an issue affecting the Google Ads API causing timeouts when sending data to it, but the Google Ads Status Summary page shows nothing [0]. However, there's an incident detail page showing some vague hand-wavy information about incidents [1], which appears to be unreachable from anywhere on the Summary page. Gah.

[0] https://ads.google.com/status/ [1] https://ads.google.com/status/publisher/incidents/gNG1ppoY3y...

p.s.: The actual incident details URLs are available in the "RSS feed" link very transiently and tend to disappear -- the feed, which incidentally for fun reasons, is actually an Atom feed.

There are lies, damned lies and... status pages.

According to them Whatsapp Business on premises solutions has issues since end of February.. But also looks like that WAB is the only product with API issues according to the status page.

That hasn't even been updated since Mar 1... Edit, oh, now it has today's date, but still doesn't reflect reality.

For me, the home page and Messenger Platform have date/time stamps like

> Updated Mar 5 2024 10:33 AM EST

and

> Updated Mar 5 2024 10:37 AM EST

25% down, but 100% Down for me is the same as 100% down.

I'd say "down for lots of people" is the same as "having widespread issues." If it was just a single person, then it would be annoying but I wouldn't assume it's a system problem.

My point was just that, of course, the status page is not reflecting reality.
