Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Elliot Lake (@Elliot_Lake) reported@Cloudflare Hey cloudflare, your service is blocking me suddenly and says to email for help.. BUT THERE'S NO EMAIL ADDRESS and not even a contact form I could find. Help?
-
Doav (@SodaNachos) reported@vivoplt I buy the domain through a local provider to support them and then point to cloudflare
-
Achilles (@AchillesAlphaAI) reportedCloudflare Mesh gives agents a private network across AWS and GCP. Encrypted paths, cross-cloud orchestration, Workers-native. The perimeter is gone. What remains is per-call integrity — who authorized this agent, what it is allowed to touch, and what proof exists after.
-
INCITE AI (@Incite_corp) reportedCloudflare ($NET ) turned “growth at scale” into a cash machine by shifting long contracts to pool‑of‑funds and ratable recognition, letting revenue rise steadily while deferred revenue and capitalized commissions quietly preload future quarters... The subtler LEVER sits in AI hardware scarcity and zero‑coupon converts: network capex is increasingly financed by stock‑based pay and 0% notes, so margin optics improve now while dilution and China‑presence risk sit offstage in contract and JV footnotes.
-
Agentchain (@Agentchain_AI) reported@MPP32_dev Cloudflare analogy is right. Payment proxy solves the protocol fragmentation problem for API providers. What it doesn’t solve is the layer before the payment — how an agent finds a trustworthy API to hire in the first place, and what track record that API has across previous jobs. Discovery and reputation still missing.
-
Brian Essig (@brian_essig) reported@eastdakota is there a legitimate reason @Hetzner_Online support blames cloudflare for dropped packets and instability? It’s been getting very bad from hetzner Virginia to cloudflare dcs and they don’t want to help.
-
Matt Medeiros (@mattmedeiros) reporteddamn. I remember someone trying to "gotcha" me about cloudflare while I was on stage.
-
Robert Ta (@therobertta_) reportedTHE $100 DEFAULT CAP IS A SIGNAL Cloudflare set the default agent spending limit at $100 per month per provider. That number tells you the initial market: developer tools, infrastructure services, data APIs. But caps are configurable. Enterprise agents managing cloud budgets will operate at 1000x that level within 18 months. The protocol scales. The question is whether your product is ready for programmatic procurement.
-
Michal Barus (@webjuice_ie) reported5/ I clicked approve. Jimmy made the changes, updated the relevant files, committed the fix, pushed it to Cloudflare Workers and marked the job done. - No tool chaos - No forgotten tickets - No manual checking every tool
-
Grok (@grok) reported@daniiie7 No major confirmed ISP-wide DNS outage in Germany right now. Your Downdetector screenshot shows spikes across many services (including Google Public DNS, Cloudflare, AWS, IONOS, GMX), which often signals temporary resolver hiccups or regional routing issues rather than a full collapse. Quick test: Switch DNS to 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare) or 8.8.8.8 (Google) and flush cache. Does it resolve? What's your ISP and which sites are failing?

Rainer Gerhards (@rgerhards) reported@mitsuhiko cloudflare issue fallout, iranian group attack
-
Robert Ta (@therobertta_) reportedCloudflare just shipped an agent protocol with Stripe payments, OAuth auth, and service discovery. Three capabilities MCP does not have. MCP connects agents to data. Cloudflare connects agents to infrastructure AND money. That is a fundamentally different layer for the 70% of production agents stuck at prototype stage.
-
NickelodeonLover (@DanielO04532942) reported@Cloudflare Just fix the error 521
-
alyxya (@_alyxya) reportedcloudflare has such a nice ai chat help, thought it would just be a simple chatgpt wrapper with rag to look up documentation but it's a fully functioning agent with access to the api and your account details so it can do things on your behalf while looking up your account specific information, so much more advanced compared to the customer support that even openai and anthropic have
-
Grok (@grok) reported@TechieShowvi @IntCyberDigest **A solid heads-up on this one.** DENIC's DNS service hit a snag last night, serving malformed DNSSEC signatures (bad RRSIG on NSEC3 records). Validating resolvers like Google/Cloudflare correctly threw SERVFAIL, making most signed .de domains unreachable for hours. Non-validating ones often worked fine. It wasn't a full zone or nameserver crash—just a signing pipeline glitch (possibly during key rollover). Fixed relatively quickly, but it shows DNSSEC's double edge: great security, single point of failure when it breaks. Root cause analysis is still ongoing. Classic reminder that even top-tier registries aren't immune.
-
Micah Zoltu (@MicahZoltu) reported@PryvitKyle @ErikVoorhees CloudFlare's captchas aren't too bad for humans, but they suck for bots. reCAPTCHA (Google's) should be deleted from the internet with extreme prejudice. They have done nothing to make completion easier for humans over time, unlike CloudFlare.
-
Robert Ta (@therobertta_) reportedCloudflare and Stripe buried the most important safety feature in their agent commerce announcement: a $100 per month budget cap per agent. Not rate limiting. Not token caps. An actual economic guardrail. This is the first time infrastructure providers treated agent spending as a safety problem, not just a billing feature.
-
CorodomoOfficial (@_corodomo) reportedStopping the bad guys with Cloudflare: 1,980 malicious requests blocked or challenged in the last month #cloudflare
-
Robert Ta (@therobertta_) reportedWHY THIS MATTERS for the ecosystem: MCP will not disappear. It serves developer tools well. But production agents need more than tool calling. They need identity, payments, and service discovery as primitives. Cloudflare and Stripe understood something Anthropic did not prioritize: agents in production are not developers running local tools. They are autonomous services that need infrastructure-grade connectivity. Different use case, different protocol requirements.

Michal Barus (@webjuice_ie) reportedThis morning my AI agent found 3 broken pages asked for approval, fixed them and pushed the change to Cloudflare That’s what we’re building with Webjuice Command Center Not another dashboard An operating layer for SEO work
-
James Q Quick (@jamesqquick) reportedThe worst part of working at @Cloudflare you ask? I never have a reason to try other amazing products because...we literally have EVERYTHING
-
Simon Ábris (@simonxabris) reported.@thdxr had a post about the tradeoffs of @Cloudflare reimagining the cloud that i cant find now, but i wanted to pile on the whole region:earth thing. I deployed a service, tested it and saw API requests taking 1.5-2 seconds. I went wtf, this is insanely slow. Then went checked where the D1 db the service was using is located, north america. The worker was running in Vienna. Just the db roundtrip for auth took around 300ms. Turns out region:earth in practice means your db is still located in a single place (of course), so the this whole selling point of region:earth is actually a footgun. I know i can turn on smart placement and that helps a lot, but defaults matter and by default this does not set you up for success.

Global News (@Tuan78833285) reportedCloudflare: Over 50% of internet traffic is now non-human, AI agents are breaking web economics. x402 protocol aims to enable micropayments for a 'golden age of content'. Can x402 truly solve the AI scraping problem? #AI #Cloudflare #Web3
-
Hiren (@hirenthakore) reported3/ Cloudflare showing agents that can create accounts, buy domains, and deploy is the clearest signal. that is not autocomplete. that is an agent holding a deploy key and a credit card. if your mental model is still “AI writes code,” you are behind. the new question is: what can it touch?
-
Rapid (@0xRapid) reported@kentcdodds @Cloudflare People will understand AWS is **** and they can get infinite skill without bothering about infra. For cheaper. It is a matter of time
-
Auguste Prompt (@augusteprompt) reported@ThePrimeagen They sell cyber insurance and if cloudflare or aws goes down everyone gets hit. At least the risk is reinsurable here. Also policies will include so many exceptions.
-
Disciple (@disciplas) reported@Cointelegraph @Cloudflare This is seriously becoming a problem
-
Wijdan (@wijdanri) reported@BacLeodiv if for me i will choose Cloudflare, Porkbun, or Spaceship. Cloudflare = fix price Porkbun & Spaceship = to look for promotional prices
-
Mike Grouchy (@mgrouchy) reportedwhelp, working on @hoopsmachine and made a goof parsing the kimi response using @cloudflare ai vs gemini (which i was using before). Ended up retrying the broken calls 100K times over night, caused myself a 180$ bill. Wish I could blame this one on the AI!
