HOW IT FAILED
Stream measurements are kept for seven days, and this incident is older than that. The incident itself is permanent; the ten-second windows behind it are not.
A stream has no latency of its own — a feed either delivers or it does not — so this is Bitfinex's REST endpoints over the same window, per minute, as the median across them. It answers the question the timeline cannot: whether the rest of the exchange was fine while this feed was down.
DID BITFINEX SAY SO?
Bitfinex publishes a status feed and nothing in it lines up with this incident. That is not proof they stayed silent; it is what their feed says.
up24 opened 62 incidents for Bitfinex in the last 90 days. Nothing Bitfinex published lines up with any of them.
