Yes! Glad it's not just me. And no status page. (?!)

I also can't find a status page and not so much as a peep from Backblaze anywhere. I pinged them on Twitter [1] to no avail. I like Backblaze but this has been going on for 3 hours now. You can't be down for 3 hours without any communication about it...

From the support page, I get the impression nothing will happen until 9am Pacific. Tickets have a 1d response time, and chat is Pacific working day with a lunch break.

Bottom of https://www.backblaze.com/help.html

I think they're all sound asleep, blissfully unaware of the day they'll wake up to!

It doesn't reflect well on their monitoring/on-call setup that everyone else was paged before them, assuming they are indeed unaware.

Perhaps the first they'll know of the problem is when they read it on HN

yup, here desperately migrating to the regular b2 API...

Well, it looks like it is in the time frame of their scheduled maintenance https://www.backblaze.com/scheduled-maintenance.html -- Disregard, I got AM and PM confused :(

No, I saw that, but that says 3 pm not am.

Pacific time is several hours behind me in the UK and it's 11am here.

I don't think it was even Thursday yet Pacific time when this started.

Can't be because this has been going on for over 3 hours now. The timeframe is only 1 hour.
