This seems to be ticking down, but Facebook is back up at this point? Are you using a specific metric that's still failing, or are you just subtracting time from the downtime start without accounting for whether it's up?

This - look at the JS source linked on GitHub.

Yeah it's still ticking, many services are still down. Yearly uptime assumes 100% uptime for the rest of the year, so this is a absolutely an upper bound.

I deployed http://www.fboutagecost.com at exactly the same time as Facebook came back up – you're all welcome, I guess?

(It was previously counting up at $3855/second, but is now stopped)

Nice work! I like the cost metric a lot, even though it's hard to gauge it. BTW you could have used $FB stock as a heuristic :)
