   variant (outline)

## FAQ

### Where do I find my status page slug?

Your status page slug is the subdomain of your OpenStatus URL. For example, if your
status page is at `acme.openstatus.dev`, your slug is `acme`.

### How often is the badge updated?

The badge is loaded directly by the browser as an image from OpenStatus. Updates
are reflected as soon as OpenStatus publishes them.

### Can I use multiple badges with different settings?

Yes! Each block can have its own theme, size, and variant settings. However, all
badges will use the same status page slug configured in settings.

### What happens if the badge cannot be loaded?

If the badge image cannot be loaded, the browser will display the alt text “System
status” instead.
