20%, do we just make numbers up?

  Depends if this is coming from engineering or management

  It seems vastly higher on every region and VPN I've tested, so I think this is a case of the "technicalies". It is technically 20%, because a bunch of the requests that happen on page load do succeed. Just not the few crucial ones that are required for the page to load correctly - those return a 500 the vast supermajority of the time.

    I can't get a single PR or issue to work. Maybe it's "20% globally, 100% anywhere people are awake".

    Feel free to disregard this because ultimately its a tangent that doesn't matter; but supermajority is specifically a political term referring to the required threshold to advance legislation when simple majority isn't procedurally enough. It doesn't mean simply a greater share of.a majority

      This is how language evolves. For supermajority: the construction means “beyond majority” or “above majority”, it is implemented as a higher percentage in most systems, and there is a utility in being able to refer to high ratio majority. So people have repurposed a technical word to a general word, of roughly the same meaning.

        No, some usage is just wrong, even if many people are doing it.

        English is descriptive not prescriptive. The meaning of words change over time. "Disappoint" was originally the inverse of "appoint" and meant to remove from office.

        It's neither. If you accept and approve of people wearing their pants around their knees, its a fashion evolution. If you think pants should cover your ass, it's just poor behavior. Analogous to the use of language.

    20% of requests on a GUI page also makes the whole thing unusable.

The error rate is 100% on the service that allows you to create PRs in the web site. Actual remote git service is working just fine. I might try the API to make a PR, see if that's working. Update: yes that worked. gh CLI using the API was able to make a PR while the web interface was inoperable. Second update: defeat from the jaws of victory -- the page that displays open PRs is also down. Third update: CI isn't working anyway, so the CLI PR creation workaround doesn't achieve much.
