My Chorus ONT has a red light above the 'update' label. According to https://www.chorus.co.nz/q/model-type-200 I should call 2degrees...

 

Can someone here tell me what caused it?

I know. The line still works though...

 

The last time I called 2degrees to report a fault they told me there wasn't one and ended up waiting 1.5 days for it to magically fix itself.

Fair enough. Tier 1 support can sometines be a drag. Sometimes we do need to do these things though. It's quite a clear error generally they get the gist pretty quick after you say red light.

Definately get your serial to Brent, he's a wizard with onts and is likely quite keen to check the reason it failed too

I’ve seen the ONT light red, service still running, running the ONT test comes back “degraded” instead of “good” and its the start of a failure

RSPs should log a fault on the line at that point

Yeah,sorry I should have updated here too...
The OLT in question was upgraded last night, which also involves an ONT upgrade.
It seems the distribution of ONT software failed for this particular ONT (we do that the day before the upgrade) which caused the red LED.
However, it fixed itself when the upgrade occurred - shortly after midnight last night.
