Bluesky status is down https://status.bsky.app edit: back up?

As usual HN is my go to source for everything. Is there another thread, like "Tell HN: Bluesky is down"? Status page says: "We are investigating an incident with service in one of our reginos" - regions maybe?

Down again, now complaining about rate limit exceeded. Considering how FB was ruined by enshittification and Twitter was ruined by its new owner, I'm worried about how BSky has no apparent plan for money , and hitting a rate limit is not a great sign.

Down again apparently in Europe. Any news about why ?

It's been down intermittently all day. In some ways, that's worse than being completely down. Seems to be fine if you're using another appview like blacksky's one, or directly querying PDSs like red dwarf does. Social media isn't very useful if most other people can't use it though.
