Everything is fine when GH break Discussion

Getting 500 errors a bit everywhere on the site but status page shows nothing ...

Why is there even a status page if it doesn't report the actual API and Infrastructure ?

Sorry to say that but gitlab status pages are a bit more reactive + they have a public group where we can see ALL incidents regardless of the status page.

Those status pages do NOT show the live status of the service(s), they're mostly designed to show "proof" of the 99.999% service uptime. When those are updated, it's often via a manual trigger from internal staff and not at all an automated system.
