My M/S app has been affected by this the last few days as well. This cron failure stuff used to happen regularly in 2010. I was already beginning to think that those days are over now, but unfortunately that is not the case. I moved the more critical parts to task queue a long time ago and now it seems that I need to forget this cron service completely and move everything to my own cron implementation using task queues.
I wonder if this cron failure would fall under the new SLA that will come? Interesting to think about it, because these last few days the cron functionality has had about 70% uptime.
