Well, it looks like it is in the time frame of their scheduled maintenance https://www.backblaze.com/scheduled-maintenance.html -- Disregard, I got AM and PM confused :(

I also can't find a status page and not so much as a peep from Backblaze anywhere. I pinged them on Twitter [1] to no avail. I like Backblaze but this has been going on for 3 hours now. You can't be down for 3 hours without any communication about it...

Can't be because this has been going on for over 3 hours now. The timeframe is only 1 hour.

No, I saw that, but that says 3 pm not am.

Pacific time is several hours behind me in the UK and it's 11am here.

I don't think it was even Thursday yet Pacific time when this started.

How prominent is usage of Backblaze and the S3 API in specific? Is HN going to be status page for any random service?

well, what can u expect , 4 times cheaper than AWS, 4 times less stability and professionalism.

I am now wandering if my data is safe there. I think it will be smart to keep a copy in aws glacier.

From the support page, I get the impression nothing will happen until 9am Pacific. Tickets have a 1d response time, and chat is Pacific working day with a lunch break.

I think they're all sound asleep, blissfully unaware of the day they'll wake up to!
