Internet Status โ 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 โ 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in its Bring Your Own IP (BYOIP) pipeline caused 25% of BYOIP prefixes (1,100 out of 6,500) to be unintentionally withdrawn via BGP.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 (blog.cloudflare.com). They are implementing circuit-breaker mechanisms to prevent similar incidents.
