+#### Skia Gold Outage
+
+This is a special case of a failed test. The following test suites rely on the
+Skia Gold image diffing service:
+
+* `*pixel_skia_gold_test`
+* `*maps_pixel_test`
+* `chrome_public_test_apk`
+* `chrome_public_test_vr_apk`
+* `pixel_browser_tests`
+
+In the unlikely event of a Gold outage, **all** of those suites will begin
+failing with errors related to Gold/`goldctl`. If this occurs, the best way to
+prevent failures from breaking bots is to uncomment the
+`--bypass-skia-gold-functionality` argument in the `skia_gold_test` mixin in
+[`//testing/buildbot/mixins.pyl`][mixins].
+
+This should only be used when you are sure that the failures are caused by an
+outage, as it will cause all pixel tests that use Skia Gold to no longer
+perform any actual pixel testing.
