AP: Internet infrastructure provider Cloudflare says it is investigating an issue that caused global outages for social media platform X, some multiplayer games and ChatGPT.
Cloudflare said on its status page earlier Tuesday that it was aware of and investigating an issue impacting multiple customers. There were reports of 500 errors, as well as Cloudflare Dashboard and API failing.
Users reported X was down, along with ChatGPT. Instead of the websites, users were prompted to “unblock challenges.cloudflare.com.”
Cloudflare then provided an update that a recovery was underway, but reverted to messaging that indicates they are still investigating the cause of the issue.
Cloudflare did have scheduled maintenance for the SCL (Santiago) data center for Tuesday.
