Was the stepfun API down on October 1, 2026?
Not attributably. 1 multi-region failure(s) of stepfun coincided with failures of other providers, so the cause sat above stepfun and is not blamed on it.
| UTC | What failed | Regions | Duration | Failed probes | Verdict | Error |

50 single-region failure(s) were also recorded that day (yi-01ai 17, google 12, hunyuan 5, iflytek 4, deepinfra 2, aleph-alpha 2, baichuan 2, stepfun 2, writer 1, sensenova 1). A failure seen from one region cannot be separated from a problem on that network path, so none of them is called an outage.
How is an outage told apart from a network problem?
Each provider is probed every five minutes from 4 independent regions. A failure is attributed to the provider only when it is seen from two or more regions at once and no other provider fails in the same minutes; a failure shared with other providers has a cause above all of them and is not blamed on anyone. Durations are lower bounds: we see the first and last failed probe, not the real start and end. Status-page entries are the provider’s own words, shown next to the measurement, not instead of it.
