what's the point in a status page that only updates after the outage has been resolved?

  It doesn't. The status page is currently showing information about the outage. And the 100% uptime number is probably still correct, since it's only been out for a couple of hours.

    > And the 100% uptime number is probably still correct, since it's only been out for a couple of hours. It's listed as "Uptime for the current quarter"; if they mean that as "calendar quarter", i.e. since the start of the year, then we aren't even 100 hours into the quarter so we should be well below 100% by now.

      Fair point.

      You might be correct, but why would anyone care about quarter-to-date as opposed to a rolling quarter ending now? The latter would mean that an outage of X duration will always reduce this statistic by the same amount regardless of how close the nearest calendar quarter boundary is, which seems like a superior quality for such a statistic to have.

        That would be a completely fair metric to publish, but it doesn't look like what Slack is publishing. Of course, it's possible that it is and it's just phrased somewhat poorly.
