"A status page is used to communicate real-time information about a company's system health, performance, and any ongoing incidents to users. It helps reduce support tickets, improve transparency, and build trust by keeping users informed during outages or maintenance."

By definition, status pages should reflect reality, and be real-time, it makes sense to get worked up over because we rely on the company's status page to be the ultimate arbiter of the reality of their servers. It's not always easily obvious if it's on our end or theirs. Even if some other third party checker is showing problems, it doesn't mean they're 100% accurate either.
