If any of this is based on work happening on Wednesday evening April 3rd, at around 6PM EST, a whole bunch of Apple services were offline or laggy for a few hours.
This looks fine now but it was all red and yellow during the time noted above.
I’m sure it has nothing to do with a global Microsoft outage that’s been going on to various degrees the day after. 100% sure, ok, maybe 95%…. well actually…how about 90%…etc.
