Availability counts operational or degraded time as available for this component alone. Partial outages count as half downtime and major outages count in full, scheduled maintenance is excluded from the calculation, and periods with no recorded status are counted as available rather than assumed down. Figures cover this component only — the service-wide record is on the APIs service page.
