REST API setting silently hid calendar events
A Members setting hid calendar posts from the REST API after an update, breaking event listings for days without any warning.

What's going wrong
After an update, a Members option that hides protected content from the WordPress REST API was switched on, and an events calendar on a ticket-selling arts site vanished for three days. The site owner, working with a developer, had to hunt through back-end permission settings to find the cause, which is not where anyone expects to look. Site owners who rely on REST API output for calendars, apps, or ticketing report that nothing warned them the setting had changed. The opportunity is a monitor that watches permission and API settings, flags changes, and explains their effect on public listings before visitors notice.
