Internet Status — February 24, 2026: Minor Cloudflare Degradations; Feb 20 BGP Outage Resolved Overall, the internet is functioning normally today with no major outages. AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, GitHub, Fastly, Akamai, and OpenAI are all reporting operational status with no active incidents. Cloudflare is conducting scheduled maintenance across five datacenters today (Miami, San Jose, Kansas City, Toronto, and Las Vegas), with maintenance windows running between 08:00 and 15:00 UTC. Traffic is being re-routed from these locations, which may cause slight latency increases for users in affected regions. Additionally, Cloudflare Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Cloudflare Sites are reporting degraded performance, and the Newark (EWR) datacenter continues to experience elevated HTTP request latency affecting a subset of traffic — an issue first identified on February 16. Azure DevOps is experiencing minor partial issues in the United Kingdom region, affecting Boards, Test Plans, and other services. This appears limited in scope and impact. The most significant recent event was the Cloudflare BGP outage on February 20, which lasted approximately 6 hours. A change to how Cloudflare manages IP addresses in its Bring Your Own IP (BYOIP) pipeline caused 25% of BYOIP prefixes (1,100 out of 6,500) to be unintentionally withdrawn via BGP. Major sites including Uber, Workday, Minecraft, Wikipedia, and Microsoft Outlook were affected. Cloudflare has confirmed this was not caused by a cyberattack and has published a detailed post-mortem (https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-outage-february-20-2026/). They are implementing circuit-breaker mechanisms to prevent similar incidents.

Cloudflare is also performing scheduled maintenance across several datacenters today, including Toronto (YYZ), Portland (PDX), Fukuoka (FUK), Houston (IAH), and Kochi (COK). Users routing through these locations may experience temporary latency increases. Fastly is reporting a partial outage affecting two points of presence in Asia (Fujairah and Lucknow). All other Fastly services are operational. Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, GitHub, OpenAI, and AWS are all reporting normal operations. In recent resolved incidents, Cloudflare experienced a significant outage on February 20 when an internal bug caused approximately 1,100 BYOIP (Bring Your Own IP) prefixes to be withdrawn via BGP. The incident lasted about 6 hours and has since been fully resolved, with Cloudflare publishing a detailed post-mortem. AWS also resolved a brief Direct Connect connectivity issue in Northern Virginia on February 21. Overall, the internet is functional with some localized Cloudflare and Fastly issues. No widespread disruptions are occurring.
Today the internet is largely stable, though one active issue persists and a significant outage from earlier this week has been fully resolved. Active Issues: • Cloudflare Newark (EWR) datacenter continues to experience elevated HTTP request latency, ongoing since February 16. Some Data Loss Prevention (DLP) customers are seeing intermittent errors. Cloudflare is investigating with fixes in progress. Recently Resolved (Past 72 Hours): • On February 20, Cloudflare experienced a major outage when approximately 1,100 BYOIP (Bring Your Own IP) prefixes were unintentionally withdrawn via BGP due to a configuration change error. The incident lasted 6 hours and 7 minutes, making affected customer services unreachable from the internet. A full postmortem has been published at blog.cloudflare.com. This was not caused by a cyberattack. • Several related Cloudflare services were also impacted on Feb 20–21, including Workers AI (elevated 429 errors), Bot Management (detection issues), Analytics Engine API (500 errors), and Durable Objects (free tier invocation failures). All have been resolved. • GitHub Actions experienced extended job start delays for larger hosted runners on February 20, now resolved. All Clear: AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Fastly, Akamai, OpenAI, and GitHub are all reporting normal operations today. Overall: One localized Cloudflare issue persists, and the effects of Thursday's major BGP outage have been fully resolved. The internet is up.
Cloudflare is experiencing several minor active incidents today. The Newark (EWR) datacenter has elevated HTTP request latency, Workers AI is seeing higher error rates (a fix has been deployed and is being monitored), and the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) service has degraded performance. Additionally, Cloudflare is performing scheduled maintenance across five US datacenters (St. Louis, Dallas, Minneapolis, Columbus, and Houston), which may cause slight latency increases in those regions. X (formerly Twitter) experienced another outage earlier today, with over 77,000 users reporting issues on Downdetector. The homepage failed to load for many users. Services have since been restored and X is operating normally as of late evening. All major cloud providers are reporting normal operations. AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure show no active incidents. GitHub and OpenAI are fully operational. This has been a turbulent week for internet infrastructure. The Feb 16 Cloudflare BGP routing incident — caused by a misconfigured automated deployment in Ashburn, Virginia — cascaded across the internet, affecting AWS, X, and thousands of websites for hours.

The internet is largely stable today following yesterday's significant cascading outage. On February 16, a BGP routing misconfiguration during a routine update at Cloudflare's Ashburn, Virginia data center triggered a cascading failure that took down portions of AWS, X (Twitter), and thousands of other services for approximately four hours. Cloudflare engineers identified the root cause within 40 minutes, but recovery required coordinating with over a dozen upstream providers to flush corrupted BGP caches. Full service was restored by Sunday evening. X (Twitter) experienced a separate outage spike on February 16-17, with over 41,000 reports on Downdetector. Users reported blank timelines, infinite loading, and error messages. The platform stabilized by early February 17. This marks X's third major outage in 2026. Today, Cloudflare is conducting scheduled maintenance at its Atlanta (07:00-13:00 UTC) and Portland (14:00-23:59 UTC) data centers, which may cause minor latency increases in those regions. Cloudflare's Newark facility is also showing elevated HTTP latency and degraded Data Loss Prevention (DLP) performance since February 16. Virgin Media reported localized connectivity issues for some UK users starting around 7:11 AM BST. AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure are reporting no major active incidents as of February 17. The AWS CloudFront issues from February 10-11 and the cascading impact from yesterday's Cloudflare incident have been fully resolved. Overall, the internet is operational with residual effects from yesterday's Cloudflare BGP incident still being monitored. No new widespread outages are in progress.
