How this report works
The numbers are problem reports from users, gathered every five minutes from a public outage-reporting service, which counts them in 15-minute windows. Spikes are kept exactly as the live status pages showed them. Each window is compared with the usual level for that service at that time of day: it counts as an outage when it has at least 12 reports, more than twice the usual level plus 8, and at least two and a half times the average of the surrounding 24 hours. A smaller rise, with at least 10 reports and more than one and a half times the usual level plus 5, counts as elevated. Windows no more than 15 minutes apart form one spike. A week runs from Monday 00:00 to the end of Sunday, Central European time, and a spike belongs to the week in which it starts. Totals per day spread each window over the clock quarter-hours it overlaps.
A spike means many people reported problems at the same time. It is not a measurement of downtime: a partial outage can draw few reports, and a news story can draw many. Popular services get more reports on an ordinary day, which is why each one is compared with its own usual level.
