Does Icloud Private Relay ever work?

"Does Icloud Private Relay ever work?: Once in a while, maybe once a month, I get a notice saying icloud private relay is working. Does that mean most of the time it is not working? Does Apple even support this feature anymore, or just pretend it’s current like they do with Safari? What is the point of a feature that does not work most of the time?"

Private Relay Error:

Go here, and you will see that there is a Private Replay issue as of the very moment of this relay: Apple - Support - System Status

Clicking on this, here is what you get...

"Yes I did see that. Based on the few times I get a notice saying it is working, the implication seems to be that it’s seldom up. Maybe Apple should spend less energy on new colors for the iphone case and devote some attention to fixing real problems like private relay, family sharing of photos, safari updates, etc. Thanks for the reply."
