As I type this, Reddit is down. My own requests return 500s, Down Detector reports that there is an outage but Reddit itself says all systems operational.
This is a pattern that I have noticed time and time again with many services. Why even have a status page if it is not going to be accurate in real time? It's also not uncommon that smaller issues never get acknowledged.
Is this a factor of how Atlassian Statuspage works?
Edit: Redditstatus finally acknowledged the issue as of 04:27 PST, a good 20+ minutes after Down Detector charts show the spike
