Appendix C – Downtime Calculation
Monthly uptime is calculated as: 100% - (Downtime Minutes ÷ Total Minutes in the Calendar Month)
Example calculation
- Total minutes in a 30-day calendar month: 43,200
- Downtime Minutes in the same month: 60
- Percentage of Downtime Minutes: 0.138889%
- Monthly Uptime = 100% - 0.1389% = 99.86%
Outcome: In this case, the Customer qualifies for a 10% Service Credit for the affected Cloud Product.
Appendix D – Downtime Definition & Measurement
"Downtime Minute": Any minute where the Error Rate exceeds 5%.
"Error Rate": The percentage of failed requests to Covered Experiences over a 1-minute period.
Error Rate Examples:
- 100% failure = Downtime Minute logged.
- 10% failure (10 of 100 requests failed) = Downtime Minute logged.
- 1% failure (1 of 100 requests failed) = No Downtime Minute logged.
- No customer requests in a minute = No Downtime Minute logged.
