It seems to work now for me. I just wish they’d update the status page. They seldom do that.
Alright kpurcell— glad to hear it is back to working for you.
Temporary glitches, swaps, short term maintenance, edits, etc —do not warrant "System Status" changes unless it is a prolong issue and outage affecting an isolated locale or larger. Never has and never will.
This is not a protocol isolated to Apple® inc to punish the end user.
It has always been the go to way in navigating the Internet, as advised: —waiting a bit and simply try again.
If no resolve in 12-24 hrs then there is an issue.
This applies to any company/server that does not respond to a query immediately; reloading the page, trying later— is not out of the question...before yelling FIRE.
It may not be as seamless as it appears—Traceroute and tracert and your network ISP/ commands for displaying possible routes and transit delays of packets across an Internet Protocol network is a complex calculus...
The Internet backbone is defined by principal data routes between large, strategically interconnected computer networks and core routers of the Internet. These data routes are hosted by commercial, government, academic and other high-capacity network centers, as well as the Internet exchange points and network access points, that exchange Internet traffic between the countries, continents, and across the oceans. Internet service providers, often Tier 1 networks, participate in Internet backbone traffic by privately negotiated interconnection agreements, primarily governed by the principle of settlement-free peering.
Many reason why when you push the bottom it does not appear as expected.
