Availability
Services are considered available if the Customer can use the Service APIs and access the application data at the public endpoints of the Service APIs. Availability is measured continuously and calculated in minutes based on a calendar month.
Availability percentage is calculated using the following formula:
Where:
- : Total time (43,800 minutes)
- : Planned downtimes
- : Downtime not attributable to Ory*
- : Downtime
*see 4. SLA Exclusions
Planned Downtime
Ory may occasionally schedule Planned Downtimes to technically update, ensure functionality and interoperability, enhance and secure the Service. Ory typically notifies Customers at least seven days before any maintenance via the Ory status page, detailing the nature, scope, and expected duration. Customers can subscribe to receive these notifications via email. Whenever feasible, these downtimes are planned during low-traffic times to minimize substantial impact on Service usage.
Ory aims to limit Planned Downtime to no more than six hours annually.
Downtime
Downtime refers to the total number of minutes within a calendar month during which the Service is unavailable to the customer.
