A mere 16 minutes after the previous update, Cloudflare has updated the page with the same message as before. Update - We are continuing to investigate this issue.
Nov 18, 2025 - 12:53 UTC Why the same message? Because they are still investigating the issue, and because the incident management team will have to provide timely updates for their service level agreement. In a previous life I was an incident manager, so I can imagine the situation at Cloudflare's office.

(Image credit: Cloudflare / X) X is down again and the Cloudflare information page shows that the issue is occurring on its systems. My browser and the X servers are both working, but Cloudflare's infrastructure is not. An error code 500 confirms that it is a Cloudflare server issue.
Over on the Cloudflare System Status page we can see that Cloudflare are still investigating the issue (12:37 UTC). Services have started to recover, but there will be higher than normal error rates while the sys admins work on fixing the issue. The investigation is looking into HTTP 500 errors (errors occurring at the server level) that impact the dashboard and the Cloudflare API. Could we soon be making the usual "It's not DNS... it was DNS" jokes? Was someone vibe coding the DNS entries? We'll find out when the post mortem happens.
(Image credit: Downdetector) Downdetector, the outage monitoring site saw 11,201 reports of issues at 11:37AM GMT today. At the last data point, there are 6,570 reports. This could mean that the fix is making its way across the Internet, or that people know about the issue, and and no longer reporting it.
X affected X (formerly Twitter) has been experiencing intermittent issues as a result of the outage. The platform is currently available, but availability has been patchy for the last hour or so.
Cloudflare says "We are working to understand the full impact and mitigate this problem. More updates to follow shortly."
