Interestingly enough, also some MS/Azure services are down. For example https://www.office.com/ just returns: >We are sorry, something went wrong. >Please try refreshing the page in a few minutes. If the problem persists, please visit status.cloud.microsoft for updates regarding known issues. The status page of course says nothing

Linkedin -> the same

For me Linkedin returns the 500 cloudflare error

Yes. Weird that https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/ isn't reporting this properly. It should be full of red blinking lights.

Yeah. I only work for a small company, but you can be certain we will not update the status page if only a small portion of customers are affected, and if we are fully down, rest assured there will be no available hands to keep the status page updated

>rest assured there will be no available hands to keep the status page updated

That's not how status pages if implemented correctly work. The real reason status pages aren't updated is SLAs. If you agree on a contract to have 99.99% uptime your status page better reflect that or it invalidates many contracts. This is why AWS also lies about it's uptime and status page.

These services rarely experience outages according their own figures but rather 'degraded performance' or some other language that talks around the issue rather than acknowledging it.

It's like when buying a house you need an independent surveyor not the one offered by the developer/seller to check for problems with foundations or rotting timber.

for me docker is failing with:

    unknown: failed to copy: httpReadSeeker: failed open: unexpected status from GET request to https://production.cloudflare.docker.com/registry-v2/docker/registry/v2/blobs/sha256/....
so coffee time.
