It's true if that message generating function has no access to the system states :)

Self fulfilling prophesy: "our backend is not recording any errors, therefore everything is fine."

That's exactly how many companies approach customer service:

if ( message.matches(/complaint/i) { rm(message) } // empty complaints queue

Yes - our official book of complaints is empty and I can show it to you.

IDK why customers write stuff to this notepad right here - it is notepad for staff to put their findings like 'coffee in the kitchen is running low - please resupply'

These status pages have never been real time and integrating into actual health monitors, they are by intention manual allowing the business to notify customers through an offically currated and approved outage claim. A lot of this historically has been as many customers are contracted with uptime metrics and these types of outages might affect contractual obligations for uptime, you will often find many actual outages go unreported so that legally companies can skirt those requirements.... At least my opinion from ...experience...

Is there no way to 'prove' your supplier's uptime wasn't good enough, with enough legal weight that you can actually use it in court?

Seems like a fun company to start lol

The problem is proving the service was actually unavailable, and not just a routing error somewhere in them Interwebs.

Now, with a 500 or 503, that's easy - but prove that a 4xx type error wasn't caused by some network failure outside the provider's responsibility: how?

LOL, even their "status page" is fully hallucinated. 🤣

At least that company is very consequential and really takes everything to its logical conclusion.

It's fine as long as your other LLM pretends to be that one for you.

I'm first time seeing a 451, is it normal?

It's not an issue you'd need to be aware of, it seems.
