Status: Investigating We've determined that the elevated load isn't driven by an overall increase in traffic, but by a large number of servers being unexpectedly unavailable, which is shifting load onto the remaining infrastructure. We're investigating what's causing these servers to become unavailable while we work to safely return them to service.

They followed this one up to say the automated health checks were causing the servers to go unavailable.

Are you OK? Are you OK? Are you OK?

I'm going to ask you so many times that you stop being OK. AI is overly attached girlfriend.
