"what exactly constitutes a meltdown"

when all you get is a 503 page

when nothing responds and it has nothing to do with your connection

"and are there ever expected ones?"

well, not expected meltdowns; more like advanced notice for maintenance - probably a deployment of a newer version of the web app
