Internet Status — July 18, 2026: No Widespread Outages; AWS Recovering From July 17 us-east-1 Incident

The internet is operating normally today, with no widespread or internet-wide outages detected. No significant BGP routing, DNS, or undersea cable issues have been reported.

The most notable recent event is yesterday's AWS incident: on July 17, the us-east-1 (Northern Virginia) region experienced an operational issue affecting multiple services — including AWS Lambda, CloudFormation, Amazon Connect, and the Management Console — causing problems for dependent sites and apps. AWS reported the issue resolved the same day (around 3:42 PM PDT). One follow-on effect is still being worked: inaccurate estimated billing data in the Billing and Cost Management Console, traced to a unit-pricing issue in a billing computation subsystem. AWS expects all affected accounts to be fully recovered by July 19, 12:00 AM PDT (health.aws.amazon.com). Core workloads are running normally.

Other minor, localized issues currently being tracked:

OpenAI: some users are unable to access Codex; a mitigation has been applied and the issue is being monitored (status.openai.com).

Cloudflare: a long-running degradation affecting two Workers AI models (open since June 16) remains under investigation. Several small incidents — Paris (CDG) network latency, Workers API errors, and email delivery delays — were resolved on July 17 (cloudflarestatus.com).

Akamai: an Application Load Balancer availability issue detected July 16 was fixed the same day and remains in monitoring with no recurrence (akamaistatus.com).

Twilio: carrier-specific SMS/voice delivery issues on routes to MTS Russia, Reliance Jio India, Chunghwa Taiwan, and Vodafone Australia — external carrier problems; core Twilio services are operational (status.twilio.com).

Recently resolved (past 72 hours): GitHub's REST API was significantly degraded on July 16, with about 39% of requests failing between 22:21 and 23:50 UTC due to an infrastructure change that incorrectly marked API backends as unhealthy — since resolved (githubstatus.com).

All clear elsewhere: Google Cloud, Azure, Azure DevOps, Slack, Zoom, Discord, Stripe, Vercel, Heroku, DigitalOcean, and Atlassian all report normal operations.
