> No major incidents … Proceeds to show worldwide degraded service level alerts.

Yep. Self-reporting status pages are pretty near worthless. At my former large company (not FAANG), we weren't allowed to update the status page until we got VP approval, which also required approval from both PR and Legal. It would take a lot more time and effort to get those approvals than to just fix the problem and move on.

Same here. Getting this in AI Studio: Failed to generate content: user has exceeded quota. Please try again later.

generating computer code, duh.

95% of enterprise software coding is molding received data into a schema acceptable to be sent further.

that said, coding is like 15% (or 0% in some cases) of an enterprise software engineer's workload.

Getting a lot of errors for Claude Sonnet 4 (Cursor) and Gemini Pro. Nooooo I'm going to have to use my brain again and write 100% of my code like a caveman from December 2024.

I chose sepuku.

Absolutely possible. Though there is something curious: https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/ At Cloudflare it started with: "Investigating - Cloudflare engineering is investigating an issue causing Access authentication to fail.". So this would somehow validate the theory of auth/quotas started failing right after Google, but what happened after ?! Pure snowballing ? That sounds a bit crazy.

Doesn't cloudflare have its own infrastructure, it's wild to me that both these things are down presumably together with this size of a blast radius.

You'd think so wouldn't you?

DownDetector also reports azure and oracle cloud, I can't see then also being dependant on GCP...

I guess down detector isn't a full source of truth though.
