What is uptime?
Understanding how uptime impacts your Service Level Agreement (SLA) is crucial for maintaining reliable digital services. Uptime is one of the core metrics defined in SLAs, and it directly affects your service’s credibility, user trust, and potential compensation.
Why uptime matters in an SLA?
SLAs often define a minimum acceptable uptime—commonly 99.9% or higher. This ensures your users can rely on your service with minimal interruptions.

Most SLAs aim for 99.95% or better.
What happens if uptime drops?
Failing to meet uptime targets outlined in an SLA can result in penalties such as:
- Service credits
- Refunds
- Contract renegotiations
These clauses are there to protect your customers and maintain accountability.
Example
If your SLA guarantees 99.9% uptime but your service experiences 90 minutes of downtime in a month, you may owe your customers service credits based on the missed performance metric.
