Early Morning Outage Disrupts X Users' Access to Feeds: A Recap of the Recent Service Disruption
Early on Tuesday morning, X users experienced an outage that prevented them from accessing their feeds. Reports of the outage started coming in around 5:14 a.m. CST and continued to increase rapidly until 6 a.m. Over 10,000 outage reports were recorded by Downdetector by 5:44 a.m. CST. Additionally, there was a Cloudflare outage, a service provider used by X for security and performance services. Users also faced difficulties accessing Downdetector and ChatGPT, with pages displaying a "just a moment..." message followed by a loading screen, as reported by WPIX. The outage reports for X and Cloudflare began to decrease around 6 a.m., and services were restored by 6:10 a.m. CST. It remains unclear if the two outages were related.
In conclusion, X users encountered an early morning outage that affected their ability to access their feeds. The outage, along with a Cloudflare outage, disrupted services and prevented users from loading pages. While the outages started to decline by 6 a.m. CST, the cause of the disruptions remains uncertain.
