I appreciate the honest feedback. We could have done better communicating about the problem. We've been marking single host failures in the dashboard for affected users and using our status page to reflect things like platform and regional issues, but there's clearly a spot in the middle where the status we're communicating and actual user experience don't line up.

We've been adding a ton more hardware lately to stay ahead of capacity issues and as you would expect this means the volume of hardware-shaped failures has increased even though the overall failure probability has decreased. There's more we can do to help users avoid these issues, there's more we can do to speed up recovery, and there's more we can do to let you know when you're impacted.

All this feedback matters. We hear it even when we drop the ball communicating.
