Internet Status โ February 23, 2026: Cloudflare Newark Latency Persists; Recent BYOIP Outage Resolved
Cloudflare continues to experience elevated latency at its Newark (EWR) datacenter, an issue that has persisted since February 16. A subset of HTTP requests are affected, and customers using the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) suite may see intermittent errors. Cloudflare has identified the problem and is working on a fix, with maintenance at the EWR datacenter scheduled for February 24.
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outage on February 20 when an internal bug caused approximately 1,100 BYOIP (Bring Your Own IP) prefixes to be withdrawn via BGP.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.
