Server Status API not updating

Greetings,

As the title states, for some reason, when the servers go down for weekly maintenance the API does not correctly update for all realms. I currently have a script that periodically checks the API for the status and reports it to my guild’s Discord when a change occurs, so my fellow guild members can be alerted when a status change occurs.

Can someone please look into as to why this occurs?

Also, is there a way to check the status of the authentication server via the API? I didn’t find any reference to it in the documentation, but I may have missed it.

Thank you.
