status page says apps / API are fine yet am trying to work on a slack app but can't cause of these error, a bit annoying

edit: it is now showing as a total outage on the status page

It seems weird to say there are issues with connections but everything else is working fine. Like is the API technically fine on their system metrics but no one can connect to use it so it stays as green? Doesn't really help much in practice it seems if connections are having issues and everything is unusable in practice to keep them as green.

Would be similar if auth was down. You can connect to us, you just can't authenticate so can't actually do anything.

Edit: Looks like they updated the status to properly show an across the board outage
