  • Cloudflare acknowledged the outage at 22:13 UTC and began deploying corrective measures minutes afterward.
  • The resolver was fully restored by 22:59 UTC and the company is actively tracking performance to prevent relapses.
  • DownDetector logged over 4,000 user complaints at the peak of the disruption, with reports now falling into the hundreds.
