X, ChatGPT and Amazon Face Widespread Disruptions as Cloudflare Probes Service Issues

Cloudflare says an internal service degradation is affecting some customers, with the cause still under investigation.

Overview

  • User reports surged worldwide on Tuesday morning, with thousands of complaints logged on Downdetector for Cloudflare and spikes for X and ChatGPT.
  • Cloudflare acknowledged problems on its status and support pages, stating it is working to restore functionality without naming specific clients.
  • Some affected services displayed Cloudflare-related error messages, and G1 noted ChatGPT notifications that pointed to the provider’s instability without confirming a single cause.
  • Banks and apps were among those cited by users, including Bradesco, Banco do Brasil, Canva and League of Legends, with reports from Brazil and other countries.
  • Monitoring sites themselves were unstable at times, as both Downdetector and Cloudflare’s own status page experienced loading issues during the incident.
