System Status & Service Alerts

Incident vs Maintenance Notice

Use this guide to understand whether a status notice reflects an unexpected disruption or scheduled service work.

The difference matters
Incidents are unexpected disruptions. Maintenance notices describe planned work that may affect service availability or performance.

Incident

  • Unexpected service disruption
  • May involve degraded performance, partial outage, or full outage
  • Usually updated as investigation and recovery continue

Maintenance

  • Scheduled work planned in advance
  • May affect availability temporarily
  • Usually includes expected timing and scope

What to do

If the notice matches your symptoms, monitor the status page for updates. If your experience does not match the notice or your impact is more severe, create a ticket.
