0 failed checks; 3 restricted checks. Restricted checks are excluded from the success rate. Gaps are unknown. Response time measures receipt of HTTP headers, not full page load. Checks run from one US monitoring server and do not verify sign-in, API, or app features. These sampled results are separate from down reports and Google activity.

Evidence behind the status

Provider reports operational. Mapped components are operational in the latest official feed; individual experiences can vary.

  • Official provider feed: recently checked; checked 2026-10-19 05:10:00 UTC.
  • Direct website measurements: 3 checks in the last 24 hours.
  • Google Trends estimate: 179 samples; last checked 2026-10-19 01:33:48 UTC.
  • Autocomplete: 2 recent query observations. Suggestions are not individual down reports.

Sources measure different things. A reachable homepage can coexist with login or API failures. Missing evidence stays unknown.

Recovery tracker

No recent recovery can be established from available evidence.

0 consecutive successful checks within the last 30 minutes. These checks measure the public website; they cannot establish recovery of every feature.

Slowdown detection

More successful checks are needed to establish a response-time baseline.

Recent median: unknown · Earlier median: unknown. Flags require at least 3 recent and 5 earlier checks, more than twice the baseline, and at least 500 ms extra latency. Slowness alone does not identify server load as the cause.
