Is it down for everyone or just me?

The outage map and region breakdown help answer this. If reports are concentrated in one area it may be regional; if hotspots appear globally it's a widespread outage. Submit your own report to help others understand the scope.

What does "never acknowledged" mean?

"Never acknowledged" means Pulsetic detected a real service disruption, confirmed by multiple user reports, but the official status page never posted an incident for it. This is one of the core reasons teams use third-party monitoring alongside official status pages.
