All times UTC. StatusBird polls OpenAI every 2 minutes and measures an outage from the first non-operational reading to the first reading that clears it. "Lead time" is how far ahead of OpenAI's own incident post that first reading was, where OpenAI posted one at all. Method: statusbird.io/methodology.
