I see you are unfamiliar with status page-ese. “Degraded performance” is a term which means some form of “the entire datacenter is probably on fire”.

Thanks you for your work!

It would be better to say this upfront. I am not blaming you in any way but this would prevent responses such as the parent's (hopefully).

Let them know that they're having an outage. If their monitors aren't telling them so, they might need to host them off-site.

Let's Encrypt is operating normally. If you're having trouble, please post the details on the community forum so that folks can help you out. There is external monitoring in place.

A common confusion; this interpretation only applies to OVH.

That would a Microsoft'ese, "Some regions are encountering issues" => "The entire world is down, but our status page is working"

I also see that fitting into the corporate language of Gaslightese.

I thought it meant "electricity has ceased to be a physical phenomenon in the general vicinity of our servers"
