Hasn't this exact thing (something in US-east-1 goes down, AWS loses ability to update dashboard) happened before? I vaguely remember it was one of the S3 outages, but I might be wrong.
In any case, AWS not updating their dashboard is almost a meme by now. Even for global service outages the best you will get is a yellow.
Yeah, probably. I haven't watched it this closely before during an outage. I have no idea if this happens in good faith, bad faith, or (probably) a mix.
