Internet Status โ April 7, 2026: Minor Incidents Across Multiple Platforms
Several notable but contained incidents are affecting parts of the internet today, though core infrastructure remains stable.
**Cloudflare Dashboard & API Issues**
Cloudflare is experiencing problems with its dashboard and API, with requests intermittently failing. A fix has been identified and is being implemented. CDN caching and core traffic routing remain unaffected. Separately, their Debian mirror service (cloudflaremirrors.com) is returning errors, and scheduled maintenance is underway at the Chicago (ORD) data center (06:00-12:00 UTC), which may cause slight latency increases for traffic routed through that location.
**OpenAI ChatGPT Partial Outages**
OpenAI reports that some users, particularly those on VPNs, are experiencing issues accessing ChatGPT. Twelve ChatGPT services are showing partial outages, including Search, GPTs, Deep Research, Voice mode, and Image Generation. Mitigation has been applied and the team is monitoring recovery. The OpenAI API itself remains largely unaffected at 99.98% uptime.
**X (Twitter) Intermittent Issues**
Users continue to report problems with the X mobile app and news feed, with reports of slow performance, inability to refresh timelines, and occasional error messages. These issues have persisted over the past 24 hours across multiple regions.
**Major Cloud Providers**
AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure are all reporting normal operations with no active incidents.
**BGP & Routing**
No BGP hijacks, route leaks, or routing incidents have been reported today.
**Local Outage**
Socorro, Texas experienced a citywide phone and internet outage on April 6, which has been under investigation by local providers.
Overall, the internet is functioning normally at the infrastructure level. The incidents today are platform-specific and do not indicate any broader connectivity issues.
