Particle Outage History

31 incidents recorded over the last 365 days, 12 of them resolved. Durations are measured from when PulsAPI first saw the problem to when it cleared, which is usually longer than the vendor's own figure.

How to Read This Particle 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 Particle 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 Particle outage in this window ran 36d 8h, against a mean recovery of 1d 8h. If you depend on Particle 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.
