Measurements behind it2

This is a measurement of queue time — how long batch jobs actually waited — not a statement from OpenAI. batchwatch reports an outage only when a majority of established contributors, or our own probes, see the same slowdown at once. The full history is available as JSON and as an Atom feed.
