What a halt usually means
Most closures are a wallet upgrade or a node resync and clear within hours. The pattern worth watching is the asymmetric one: deposits open while withdrawals are closed. That combination preceded every large exchange failure, and it is also, most of the time, completely routine. The useful question is not whether it is happening but how long it has been happening — which is what the record above is for.
