Our tool analyzes user-reported issues over the past 24 hours to calculate the status of each service every 30 minutes.

We calculate a baseline based on average reports for each service

<50%

If reports are below 50%,
the status is "Online"
50-75%

If reports are higher than 50% but lower than 75%, the status is "Partial Outage"
>75%

If reports exceed a 75% threshold,
the status is "Down"
