Cloudflare Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • _jaydeepkarale Jaydeep (@_jaydeepkarale) reported

    @eastdakota @Cloudflare "After we initially wrongly suspected the symptoms we were seeing were caused by a hyper-scale DDoS attack, we correctly identified the core issue and were able to stop the propagation of the larger-than-expected feature file and replace it with an earlier version of the file." Shouldn't the system automatically fail back to the previous version in case of an error?

  • PavlosProkopeas Pavlos Papageorgiou (@PavlosProkopeas) reported

    @ChShersh It puzzles me because everyone reports it, but on my browser it showed up as a Cloudflare outage in the UK.

  • 0xNikstein Nik 🐲 (@0xNikstein) reported

    @eastdakota @Cloudflare You’re “sorry”??? Claude and ChatGPT were down because of Cloudflare and I was told to use my brain instead, who’s gonna pay for my aura loss???

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @EjjeueE12224 @Narayan27012099 @JIX5A A Cloudflare outage struck on November 18 due to a bug in their bot management system: an auto-generated config file for threat traffic ballooned unexpectedly, crashing core services and disrupting sites like X and ChatGPT for hours. Cloudflare confirmed the root cause as internal software logic, not external factors or hires anywhere. Services are now fully restored, with no ongoing issues reported.

  • Chap_asmodai Chaplain Asmodai (@Chap_asmodai) reported

    @STvSW @OGStarwarsAB @SonicFront70231 You're saying that because cloudflare had issues, context, that you've never shown, was removed

  • AverageCoder8 Sumit (@AverageCoder8) reported

    🚨 Heads up everyone — Yesterday the internet hit a snag. One of the major infrastructure providers, Cloudflare, experienced a glitch. 🔍 What happened: A config file designed to help manage threat traffic grew beyond its expected size and caused a crash in the system that handles a lot of web traffic.  🌐 Impact: Big platforms like X , ChatGPT and many others had trouble loading users saw error messages or couldn’t access services at all.  ✅ Status: Cloudflare says a fix has been implemented and things are mostly back to normal though some lingering issues might still be there.  🧠 Why it matters: This shows how even trusted “behind the scenes” services can become a single point of failure. It’s a reminder to us all to build systems (and expect systems) with redundancy and fallback-plans. Thanks for your patience if you were affected you’re not alone!

    @eastdakota @Cloudflare Can you say sorry while laying down naked on a bearskin rug?

  • josemfcheo José Martínez | Devconnect 🇦🇷 (@josemfcheo) reported

    What's the probability of Cloudflare and GitHub going down the same day?

  • sidhNarasimhan Sidharth Narasimhan (@sidhNarasimhan) reported

    Damn someone should have made a cloudflare outage market predicting when it'll be back up

  • MyWanderingEyes Pat 1941 (@MyWanderingEyes) reported

    @dok2001 @Cloudflare Thank You for owning up to it, too bad Vivaldi browser for MAC/ desktops won't do the same it crashed early Sunday morn (for me at least) & still down, no word/update from Vivaldi ppl. Think their latest update was for handheld devices but coded wrong

  • DaRealYandelOMG 𝚂𝚉 𝚈𝙰𝙽𝙳𝙴𝙻𝙾𝙼𝙶  (@DaRealYandelOMG) reported

    Imagine having your websites down, My Websites were on during the amazon and cloudflare outage 🥱

  • noesys_co noesys (@noesys_co) reported

    Cloudflare’s CTO says the global blackout was not an attack. A hidden bug inside its bot mitigation system crashed after a routine config change and triggered a network wide cascade. One small bug, hours of global chaos.

  • CandyQueenSunny Sunny 🍬👑 (@CandyQueenSunny) reported

    Also apparently some cloudflare issue that didn't help? Tho thats likely not the primary issue for todays crashing as this has been going on for more than a week now.

  • minyo0n9i aish⁷ ー人ー (@minyo0n9i) reported

    Yesterday was so funny because of Cloudflare. I was doom scrolling twitter during working hours and it went down. So I went to Ao3 to read some fics and it’s down too… So since my distractions are gone, I went to go do some work and Canva was freaking down too. I just went home

  • FixYouthsFuture the inevitable coconut crab (@FixYouthsFuture) reported

    @pzrsaa I mean it did tell you cloudflare was down so it works

  • WilliamAEden William Eden (@WilliamAEden) reported

    @diviacaroline Wasn’t the issue today the Cloudflare stuff?

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @EjjeueE12224 @Narayan27012099 @JIX5A The outage stemmed from a self-generated config file in Cloudflare's bot management exploding due to flawed internal logic, overwhelming their systems—no external interference or location-specific hires involved, per their postmortem. Blaming India reflects bias, not facts; outages happen globally from code glitches. Services recovered fully by evening November 18.

  • amrit_xrajput amrit rajput (@amrit_xrajput) reported

    Day 49 #winterarc 🔥 Cloudflare was down yesterday, so I couldn’t do LeetCode But I still showed up. 🔹 Revised the problems I’ve already solved 🔹 Completed the backend with full authentication

  • AshishBuilds Ashish Kumar (@AshishBuilds) reported

    Seventeen months at Cloudflare and all it took was one update for them to pack my bags. Internet down. X down. ChatGPT down. Cloudflare stock down. Me looking at HR like… really? If a single regex can shut down the planet, maybe the problem is not me but your infrastructure. Anyway, now available for roles that appreciate true power.

  • neon_voix TheNeonVoice (@neon_voix) reported

    @chrismaconi One outage at AWS or Cloudflare cripples businesses. We need distributed alternatives now before the next collapse. #DecentralizeTech

  • yalligatorgar Gator Gar (@yalligatorgar) reported

    @YoAdrienne1968 In fairness, that was Cloudflare and affected half the internet. Not in X’s control. Their tech support needs MASSIVE improvement though.

  • cassidydayes 𝕮𝖆𝖑𝖑 𝕸𝖊 𝕮𝖆𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖉𝖞 (@cassidydayes) reported

    Cloudflare going down today is just one example of why digital IDs are a ******* stupid idea. Imagine it on a scale where you need a server to eat, travel, pay bills etc and the server goes down. Hello? Can we not with the IDs. Thanks

  • roy_fentime Roy Du (@roy_fentime) reported

    @Cloudflare The Cloudflare outage made me reflect—it's unwise to put DNS and CDN in the same basket. Last night's incident report from Cloudflare cited configuration issues causing 500 errors. To me, this is fundamentally a DNS problem. If your CDN fails, you should be able to redirect traffic to the origin server—but that didn't happen. Incidentally, blocking AI crawlers isn't Cloudflare's core business, yet it was crippled by a configuration file for this optional feature.

  • opalpopped miya 🤓 (@opalpopped) reported

    the timing of cloudflare crashing down after jeonghan’s appearance in yesterday’s weverse live 😭 who is that jjfan admin in there

  • PolarisKenya Polaris Kenya (@PolarisKenya) reported

    @eastdakota @Cloudflare @grok break it down pls

  • Ultima_FR Ultima Markets France (@Ultima_FR) reported

    @hydralauncher Cloudflare outage 18/11/25: 500 errors crashed 1/5 of web traffic from 6:48am UTC—X, ChatGPT, Spotify, AO3 offline for hours. But exposes single-point fragility in our "decentralized" net. Next time?

  • nakasechi chiyo 🪽 (@nakasechi) reported

    @moonlitluvh i was reading too omg 😭 i looked it up on reddit when i realized it wasn't an internet problem (bc yt was working just fine), and there are a lot of internet services using cloudflare...

  • KCRubix kc.RBT (@KCRubix) reported

    @RubixChain According to #cloudflare, the overgrown config file that handles threat detection is the reason for the outage. Centralized threat detection systems would need an ever larger config file to detect. So this could be a recurring issue. The question is are centralized security systems good enough? We need decentralized methods of identity and web access. The good news is its easy to build this on @RubixChain

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @techboomie @AndrewYNg Cloudflare provides robust, scalable services like DDoS protection, CDN, and security that are hard to replicate fully in-house without ongoing maintenance. The AI clone was likely a temporary fix for basics during an outage, not a full replacement—saving time and cost in normal ops.

  • preegee Pree (@preegee) reported

    TIL @AerodromeFi & @VelodromeFi were unaffected by the Cloudflare outage because their front ends are also decentralized 100% uptime
