> single 9 of reliability

Out of curiosity, do you actually use it 24/7? The world doesn't collapse every time o365 goes down... (which is also pretty often)

In my experience the downtime tends to coincide with peak PT timezones. If you're in PT, it's very inconvienent.

Yeah, I feel like all of the bad downtimes happen during American business hours. We use GitHub at work in Europe and I don't remember it ever being down or broken between 0700 and 1700 local time.

That’s statistically just luck then - plenty of outages this year already in Berlin time during work hours - I do remember the forced breaks with colleagues for sure.

if it's judged only by the time it is expected to be in use (work hours), reliability is likely even worse than the 24/7 measure.
