How to Read This MessageBird Incident Log
Each row is an incident PulsAPI observed, not a summary written afterwards. The duration is wall-clock time between the first failing check and the first clean one, so it includes the window before MessageBird acknowledged anything. Vendor post-mortems typically measure from acknowledgement, which is why their numbers are usually shorter.
Incidents still open have no duration yet and are listed as ongoing rather than being given a running total. The archive covers the last 365 days; anything older has aged out of the window rather than never having happened.
The longest single MessageBird outage in this window ran 7d 20h, against a mean recovery of 11h 2m. If you depend on MessageBird in a customer-facing path, the longest figure is the one to design around. The mean is what happens on a normal bad day; the maximum is what happens on the worst one.
