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 Kraken'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 KRAKEN SAY SO?
Kraken acknowledged the same event 2h 18m after up24 opened this incident, on 20 AUG 2026 09:21 UTC: “Delayed Delivery of Account-Related Email Notifications”. Matching is by time window, and their notice is linked so the pairing can be judged rather than taken on faith.
Delayed Delivery of Account-Related Email Notifications · 20 AUG 2026 09:21 UTC
up24 opened 77 incidents for Kraken in the last 90 days; 39 fall within six hours of something Kraken published, and the rest were never mentioned. At the median, Kraken's own notice came 1h 58m before up24 opened its incident. Pairing is by time alone — nothing checks that a notice is about the fault up24 measured, so the 14 that up24 timestamped first are not scoops. Every entry links to the venue's own notice so the pairing can be judged.
