Production question: A deployment disconnects 300k SSE clients. They all reconnect at once. How do you prevent the thundering herd from taking down your system?

@clipcloud Where did her pages go twitter and instagram? I haven’t seen her in a while. I remember her saying fatboy sse kept getting her pages taken down

Had power out since 2pm due to latest storm. Power line down outside house , now thankfully safe. SSE guys have hooked us up with a big generator until lines are repaired . These guys are absolute heroes working in these conditions 👏 #skye

Great, Azure has an outage and SSE are on Azure and now I can't top up my electricity and now have to traipse out to find a paypoint. A Digital ID would have solved this (not lol).

The SSE wind is buffeting and not cold. Refreshing. But the birds are not calling or singing, hunkered down. The Merlin app did not record any over 5 mins, tho I'm sure I heard one. Just a grey almost uniform band of noise, the whine of the telephone wire and the thrashing leaves

Thought I'd "just" deploy remote MCP Server here and have got pulled down rabbit hole. SSE doesn't seem to work with app engine setup I'd been using......now trying cloud run.....which led to lots of fun getting cloud build to just build backend (this is part of KMP project)!

Danske bank outage and parked in SSE car park (£1.80) to be paid. Couldn't lift £ or pay. Phoned at barrier and said I'm stuck for getting out (add 8 month baby crying in the back to the mix) and was met with 'nope, it's cash or card'. Honestly zero compassion 🤯

Frequently asked questions

Is SSE down right now?

SSE appears to be working normally — report volume is within the typical range for this time of day.

Why is SSE not working for me?

We're not detecting a broad SSE outage right now, so a problem is most likely local to you — your internet connection, device, or the app. Try restarting the app, then your router. If many people report the same issue, this page will update to show it.

When was the last SSE outage?

We have no recorded outages for SSE yet.

How do I report a SSE problem?

Use the “Report a problem” button on this page and choose what's not working. Reports are anonymous and update the live status and outage map in real time.

How does Outage.Report know if SSE is down?

We aggregate anonymous user reports and monitor public social-media posts, comparing live volume against SSE's normal baseline for the time of day and region to detect anomalies — often before they're officially confirmed.
