There's a disclaimer at the top that anything below the intro was largely written by an LLM. That section is updated now

I'm keeping a list [1] of all the (possible) precautions one can take, ahead of the patches appearing in a few hours. Exploits are now circulating, according to Cloudflare's CTO, so _any_ mitigation is worth investigating

Reporting absolute instead of percentage values definitely makes it more human. But most of these reports & status pages are held up-to-date manually, by engineers, when incidents happen. I’d bet not even half of the real outages end up reported on there.
“It’s just a few minutes of downtime, nobody noticed, best not draw attention to ourselves by placing something on our status page”
Status pages should be tied into (external/simulated) monitoring to update in near real-time, without hiding incidents. Transparency is the only way. By reporting the _real_ hours of downtime, including the small stuff you think people didn’t notice.

Indeed, surprised me too - the majority of that is made up of "death by a thousand paper cuts", many 1 or 2 minute outages.
