Same here. At the time the status check on AWS was not reporting any issues and there was nothing written about it online. As a result I assumed it was an issue with my account.

I only confirmed it was on their end when I noticed the favicon on the AWS console wasn't loading.

Same here, I was running around like a headless chicken and wondering what I was doing wrong when elasticbeanstalk just wouldn't deploy anything. The fact that we doubt ourselves rather than thinking aws is down is a good damn indicator how reliable they are, luckily it happened during daytime (EST anyways)

The issue started happening much sooner, around morning time in EST, but it got worse as the day progressed. It looks like the Amazon engineers woke up and realized something was wrong and they updated their status page 5-6 hours late. But I agree, AWS is super reliable, it's unfortunate that this problem occurred and I hope it's resolved soon.
