It seems vastly higher on every region and VPN I've tested, so I think this is a case of the "technicalies".

It is technically 20%, because a bunch of the requests that happen on page load do succeed. Just not the few crucial ones that are required for the page to load correctly - those return a 500 the vast supermajority of the time.

I can't get a single PR or issue to work. Maybe it's "20% globally, 100% anywhere people are awake".

Feel free to disregard this because ultimately its a tangent that doesn't matter; but supermajority is specifically a political term referring to the required threshold to advance legislation when simple majority isn't procedurally enough. It doesn't mean simply a greater share of.a majority

This is how language evolves.

For supermajority: the construction means “beyond majority” or “above majority”, it is implemented as a higher percentage in most systems, and there is a utility in being able to refer to high ratio majority.

So people have repurposed a technical word to a general word, of roughly the same meaning.

		No, some usage is just wrong, even if many people are doing it.

20% of requests on a GUI page also makes the whole thing unusable.
