A service outage meaning starlink is down globally.

Anecdotally my starlink is using more power currently than usual. And when I first looked at the app it mentioned having gotten a new public IP address.

Yea. Mine is down and listed as heating. And getting a public up, not a cgnatted 100.x.x.x I usually get. Weird...

That is interesting info - don't phones typically use a lot of power when they're trying to find a tower?

I get new public IPs fairly frequently (maybe once every two weeks or so?)

Indeed but in this case it coincided with starlink going down. Could be a coincidence though!

Yeah, that's interesting actually, I guess one could speculate that the fact that you got a new IP might mean they rolled out/restarted something at the application layer and then things went south from there perhaps

So in AWS-speak, this is a yellow/orange status outage ?
