That seems faster than usual, compare to Outlook (down for a day) and GitHub. It's still embarrassing for a heavily-relied service, but better, and I wonder if Claude (or another LLM) helped diagnose and fix the outage?

There's not many LLM provider features that operate across multiple accounts.
This allows their architecture to be simpler, and scale more easily.
GitHub meanwhile is highly relational, across repos and users, and provides real time updates over all this. Outlook is similar.
It's not resolved. For example, connectors do not work, e.g. Google Docs, etc.
I look forward to the PR video “How we used a swarm of agents to fix an outage issue”, right after “How we used a swarm of agents to identify thousands of potential drugs for Alzheimer’s”.
It's back down again, new incident: https://status.claude.com/incidents/34wq7gxnxvvm
