How this report works
DownSignal reads the public incident history each AI provider publishes on its official status page. We count incidents that started in August 2026, mark those the provider labeled major or critical, and measure time to fix from the start of an incident to when the provider marked it resolved. Status pages only list problems providers admit to, so real downtime can be higher. Feel free to cite this page; please link back.
