I have to admit, this one has pissed me right off. I build systems that survive datacentre failures all the fucking time, it's inexcusable that a single site going dark removes access to something I pay like 200 euro a year for.
Just for anecdata: I'm using simplelogin to alias my emails and I can see there is a 20ish minute window between when Simplelogin receives an email, to when it finally shows up in my Proton inbox. Normally it's an inconsequential delay.
Not sure if that indicates how much of a backlog of emails Proton has because of this outage, or if the DR infra is just that much slower?

Why does a cooling failure in one datacenter brick the entire ecosystem? Reliability 101 to have redundancy here I'd think...

guess it's the same ol' reliability doesn't get prioritized until something like this happens story
Back online for me ~2 hours later. Jesus.

Manually?!
I guess multiple datacenter hosting and automatic switch over should be the resulting solution of this incident
click the words "global outage" on the main status page
