I really despise this trend of companies not acknowledging their product or service is down, but instead simply say their service is 'degraded'. On top of that, they will use language like 'some users'.

Be open about it: your service is stone cold down and no one can use it. Cut out the stupid business speak.

They also refuse to switch their status page to be down, presumably because of SLA related measurements which has prompted some manager to decide that unless he approves of it personally, the status page cannot be touched.

It's not down, it's resting. It's pining for the fjords!

Couldn't agree more. OpenAI can afford such messaging. But it's more nuanced when a company is public.
