Where/how are you keeping track of this? What is their current uptime percentage?

1 - downtime/period. I suspect period is 1 year. 99.9% is 8.76 hours of downtime a year.

Exactly this. Just keep a note every time they have a big outage, and then take the last year and see if its over 9 hours, is a good measure.
