I'm not a GitHub apologist, but that graph isn't at scale, at all. It's massively zoomed in, with a lower band of 99.5%. It makes it look far worse than it is.

If you plotted it from zero, then a horrible service and a great service would be indistinguishable. Their SLA for enterprise customers is 99.9%. The low end of that chart is 5x that amount downtime. It is a reasonable scale for the range people are concerned about and it looks bad because it is bad.

It's an uptime chart and shouldn't need to show much more than the 99% range.

If you started the y-axis at zero, you wouldn't see much of anything. Logarithmic scale would still be a bit much imo.

It also has 0 reflection of load. Weren't you limited to a single private repo before Microsoft took over?
