Error Budget Calculator
Monthly minutes: 43,200 (30 days)
99.9% SLA = 43.2 minutes downtime allowed
99.5% SLA = 216 minutes downtime allowed
99.0% SLA = 432 minutes downtime allowed
Burn rate = (actual downtime / budget) × 100
If burn rate > 50% with 2+ weeks remaining → review needed
If burn rate > 80% → freeze deploymentsStatus Page Template
Provide clients with a public status page showing:
- Current system status (operational / degraded / outage)
- Component-level status (Agent A, Agent B, API, Dashboard)
- Uptime percentage (30-day rolling)
- Incident history with resolution notes
- Scheduled maintenance windows
