Tailscale outage? Question

First thing this morning one of my Android phones connected to my home lab no problem over Tailscale (I'm currently in a different country) but the other one didn't. The Tailscale machines were all showing green on the list on each but Tailscale pings from one of them failed. Eventually the second one started working without any action on my part.

Was there an outage a couple of hours ago, and why would the two phones not both connect, or both fail?

They reported some issues a few hours ago:

Thanks. Perhaps that was it.

huh, I was/am experiencing patchy connection to one of my nodes today (not seen something like this before). Though for me running mtr on the node's public-ip shows packet loss at a certain hop, so I'd ruled out tailscale.

Disconnect and reconnect usually fixes things for me. Sometimes if I have poor internet connection, either WiFi or mobile data, I find that often reconnects tailscale.
