The timing is pretty uncanny. I just deployed a github page and had a DNS issue because I configured it wrong. I hit "check again" and github went down.

Hope I don't appear in the incident report.

https://www.githubstatus.com/ reports no problems, but it's clearly down for a lot of people (including me).

It is kinda amazing how consistently status pages show everything fine during a total outage. It's not that hard to connect a status page to end-to-end monitoring statistics...

It's simply too soon for the status page to report the anomaly, is my guess. It's been down for 4 minutes.

It went down literally 3 minutes ago (I was in the middle of writing a PR comment), let's see if their cron job kicks in and reports the issue.

There is always going to be SOME delay between the outage and the status page, although 5 minutes is probably enough time where it should be updated
