I'm guessing they MIGHT consider this but they won't do it until after the server is back up. It would be a bit pointless compensating you for a length of time which has been a guess for how long the service has been down.

And regarding the problem, if it is hard-drive based, then I'm guessing they would be hoping that the drive would last to the weekend which is when most sites get used the least.
