DID GEMINI SAY SO?
Gemini 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 421 incidents for Gemini in the last 90 days; 30 fall within six hours of something Gemini published, and the rest were never mentioned. At the median, Gemini's own notice came 1h 20m before up24 opened its incident. Pairing is by time alone — nothing checks that a notice is about the fault up24 measured, so the 11 that up24 timestamped first are not scoops. Every entry links to the venue's own notice so the pairing can be judged.
