Why not just give hours/minutes per year/month??
I have no intuitive feeling for what 0.078% is, but if it says: "average downtime of 44 minutes per month" or "7h per year" it's clear as day.
Percentage is good to see quick changes in relation. Having exact figures would be nice too, but that is not a replacement for percentage.
