Internet Status โ March 26, 2026: X Global Outage, Minor Cloudflare Issues
X (formerly Twitter) is experiencing a global outage today, with users across multiple countries reporting that feeds are not loading, login failures, and inability to post content. Reports surged on Downdetector throughout the day. No official statement from X has been released yet. The X status page (status.x.com) is also unreachable.
Cloudflare is undergoing scheduled maintenance at its Zurich (ZRH) datacenter (11:00โ17:00 UTC), which may cause slight latency increases for regional users. Cloudflare also resolved a Network Error Logging issue and is monitoring a minor Spectrum Analytics dashboard display bug โ neither affects actual traffic or protection.
All major cloud providers are operating normally: AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure report no active incidents. GitHub and OpenAI are fully operational. No BGP routing incidents have been reported today.
Looking back at the past week, ThousandEyes tracked 277 global network outage events (March 16โ22), a slight 2% increase from the prior week. Notably, Tier 1 provider Arelion (formerly Telia Carrier) experienced an outage on March 20 that impacted customers across 20+ countries โ that incident has since been resolved.
Overall, the internet is up and functioning normally for the vast majority of users. The X outage is the most significant incident today but is isolated to a single platform.
