Same, considering switching after this for sure.
What would you switch to? I'm pretty deeply tied into protondrive, so switching is gonna be .. not a lot of fun.

I literally can't order medication at the moment because I need a 2FA from my email; which I pay them for. It seems pretty inexcusable to me (as someone who does a lot of SRE work) that they got bitten twice by the same incident, but I guess I'll wait for the next post-mortem before I decide to switch or not. SLA or not, it's a great way to lose the faith your customers had built up in you.

Looks like it came back up after about 4(?) hours. I noticed there was a "special offer" to extend my subscription for about half the price. I think what I want is to pay more for something that looks vaguely like an SLA. Or maybe even a description of how they have two data centers and their fail-over process is tested frequently.

I'm looking at Fastmail for email. For other stuff, not sure yet. I've seen folks recommend Nextcloud. I'm similarly dreading moving my files/backups.

I switched to Tuta this morning. I used to be a huge Proton advocate but multiple hour-plus downtimes in a week for e-mail is unacceptable. At this point I had better uptime running my own mail server on a VPS (or at least when the UI went down it was a simple `systemctl restart` away to fix it) and this was in the dark ages of having to manually rotate X.509 certs.

Tuta without SMTP/POP3/IMAP is just a joke. At least Protonmail offers bridge to work with.
Lumo, which could have been a great offering, similarly breaks after every fifth message or so and is substantially behind SOTA offerings. IMHO Proton has jumped the shark and this is just the final straw.
