US EditionCloudflare Outage Disrupts X, ChatGPT and Thousands of Sites
An internal service degradation at Cloudflare caused 11,000+ outage reports and disrupted services like X and ChatGPT, affecting about 20% of global websites.
- On Tuesday, Cloudflare-linked outages took X, Spotify and thousands of users offline, with confirmed disruptions to OpenAI's ChatGPT tool and Letterboxd.
- Cloudflare said it was `experiencing an internal service degradation` and investigating an issue impacting multiple customers, later reporting a `latent defect` in its US‑East‑1 cluster with a fix underway.
- Downdetector showed a sharp spike in reports and more than 11,000 users reported issues at 11.40am during the Cloudflare outage peak on Tuesday.
- An update around 12.40pm said some services were recovering, but Cloudflare warned customers they may `continue to observe higher-than-normal error rates` during remediation.
- Cloudflare's large footprint — about a fifth of the web and 81 million HTTP requests per second — means its outages can trigger mass disruption, echoing last month's AWS outage that took over 2,000 sites offline.

Cloudflare outage exposes our digital vulnerability
I sometimes joke about how we’re never going to get pre-digital cultures and social structures back, unless someone figures out how to unplug the internet. It always seems absurd, as I write it.
