I recently made my first unit about 5 days ago, and everything went well, but every time I tried to use units since then its been down. Looking at this thread, it seems Units is down a lot (maybe even near continuously? Hard to tell from just seeing people reporting it down every couple of months). My question is this: should I hope it's back up in a few days and just wait patiently, or is the service more or less just gonna be down and I simply got lucky the day I made my unit?
