ROB RUN Status

About ROB RUN Status

Updated

ROB RUN Status is an independent fan site. It tracks ROB RUN’s servers, player count and wipe times, and it isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by Kefir. This page explains exactly how each number is produced.

How we decide if ROB RUN is down

  1. Steam players, every 5 minutes. We ask Steam’s public Web API for ROB RUN’s concurrent player count and store every sample with a UTC timestamp.
  2. Sudden drops. If the latest count falls below 65% of the median of the previous 12 samples (about an hour), we show “Possible outage”.
  3. Player reports. If “Down for you?” reports in the last 15 minutes exceed 25, or three times the usual 15-minute rate over the last day, we also show “Possible outage”.
  4. Recovery. The automatic status clears after three normal samples in a row.
  5. Confirmed incidents. When Kefir posts about a restart, outage or DDoS on Discord, X or Steam, we log it by hand in the maintenance log with a source link. A manual status always overrides the automatic one.

ROB RUN has no public server API, so nobody outside Kefir can read server health directly. Our status is an inference from these signals, and we label it that way.

How we calculate wipe times

Kefir says each wipe cycle lasts seven days and that fresh servers open daily (EU at 17:00 UTC, East US at 20:00 Eastern). We add seven days to each server’s opening time. Kefir doesn’t publish the exact time of day a wipe happens, so every wipe time is marked “estimate” until Kefir confirms it. See the wipe timer.

Where our facts come from

Where Kefir hasn’t said something, or player reports conflict, the page says so instead of guessing.

Reports and privacy

Problem reports are anonymous. We don’t store IP addresses; see the privacy page.

Corrections

If something here is wrong or out of date, we’ll fix it as soon as we know. Kefir’s own channels are always the final word on ROB RUN.
