No shit. My "internet" just went down and I switched over to 8.8.8.8 and got back up.

Same. I assumed it was my ISP as it had some hiccups lately, but when I saw that 8.8.8.8 was responding to ICMPs I suspected 1.1.1.1 was down.

I tested with 1.1.1.1 first, didn’t get anything, and gave up for the night. Maybe I should put a different provider as DNS backup? (any DNS gurus to say that that’s a bad idea?)
