  • Cloudflare acknowledged widespread internal server errors affecting multiple products, APIs and control panels, and said a full resolution timeline remains unavailable.
  • The company reported that changes restored Cloudflare Access and WARP to pre-incident error levels, though customers may still experience elevated error rates.
