It was down when they changed to a new datacenter[1]. I think github is just a much bigger target right now is why it goes down more often.

We've had some minor issues with Bitbucket being down, or at least inaccessible. Never anything really disconcerting, but it's always a pain when you can't get to your code, even if it's only for a few hours.

Mostly Bitbucket has moments where it seems a little slugish and a pull or push takes what seems like forever.

It was down a few weeks ago, right in the middle of the last big deploy I did. Just had to laugh honestly.

That was scheduled maintenance, however. They had big banners with warnings everywhere on Bitbucket for several days before the event.

I think the problem with BitBucket and GitHub is that i never need to go to the website for most things. All the interfacing I do is thought the Git or mercurial Interface.
