Server Outage, cant contact support
Asked by Holger Biebinger:

Hi,

our cloud instance is currently not available. I get the following error message:

*** ** * ** ***

Page unavailable

Your Atlassian Cloud site is currently unavailable.  

Please check [Atlassian Status](https://status.atlassian.com) for known problems.  
If there are no known problems and your page hasn't appeared again in 5-10 minutes then please contact our support team.

Trying to contact support I get the following error message:

*** ** * ** ***

What is your URL?  
<https://exgenio.atlassian.net>  
**Sorry, we can't find this Cloud URL.**  
See instructions below on how to find your URL.  

*** ** * ** ***

The URL is correct and worked for years. It seems that I cannot contact support directly. Do you have any advice how i can reach out to support or what else I can do?

Thanks in advance,

Holger

I think this is a big problem if you need the URL to open a ticket when you cannot be certain that the URL can be found. So we have our doumentation and project management systems unavailable while not being able to make a ticket in the right queue.

While we really want to get in front of you live to answer your questions, we are prioritizing getting customers up and running first and foremost. We will host an AMA (Ask Me Anything) after we get all of our customers fully restored.

In the meantime, please add your questions [here](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Feedback-Forum-questions/Updates-and-Q-amp-A-on-active-incident-affecting-Atlassian/qaq-p/2000572) and we will respond as quickly and transparently as we can. Some questions may not be answered until we do an official PIR, but we will let you know that and answer as much as we can now.

Our Chief Technology Officer Sri Viswanath has posted [a blog about this incident](https://www.atlassian.com/engineering/april-2022-outage-update) with more background and details, and our team is working around the clock to move through the various stages for restoration.

We are working 24/7 to restore your service. Thank you to those who have been sharing all the information you know from your support requests. Thank you for being open, honest, and caring for your fellow Community members. This speaks a lot about what makes Community a special place.

Lastly, if you're unsure if a support request was raised on your behalf, please let me know, and I will personally check. My team and I went through all Community posts related to this incident to ensure everyone's site had a support request.

body: I ran into the same problem. Once our Atlassian site became unavailable I went to raise a support ticket and because I could not find our affected Atlassian production instance listed on our account within the 'Jira Software' support area, I had to raise the ticket using our Sandbox instance URL instead which was the only instance available to me.

But then simply referred to our production instance URL in the ticket, in both the title and the description of the issue.

I imagine however, if you did not already have a Sandbox instance linked to your account, then doing what I did as a workaround to place a support ticket wouldn't have been an option.
