Cloudflare Outage Disrupts Major Sites Worldwide as Company Moves to Restore Service

Cloudflare says a routine configuration change exposed a latent error, not an attack.

Overview

  • User reports spiked around 8:30 a.m. Brasília time, with Downdetector logging thousands of complaints tied to Cloudflare and affected services.
  • Cloudflare acknowledged widespread 500 errors and issues with its dashboard and API, then said it identified the root cause and deployed fixes.
  • The company reported recovery of Cloudflare Access and Warp, noting error rates returned to pre-incident levels for those services.
  • Major platforms and services experienced disruptions, including X, ChatGPT, Amazon, Spotify, Canva, League of Legends, and some Brazilian government and banking portals.
  • By midday Cloudflare said the incident was largely mitigated though residual problems persisted for some customers, renewing calls for multi-CDN redundancy among publishers such as Poder360.
